The 25 year old right back is expected to complete a £17 million transfer in a move which is likely to herald the departure of Alvaro Arbeloa back to Real Madrid.
It is believed that Johnson will sign a 4 year deal with the club, and Johnson eventually rejected a move to Chelsea, his former club.
Last night the club released the statement:
“Liverpool confirm they had reached an agreement with Portsmouth and with Glen Johnson for the transfer of the player to Anfield.”
The player underwent a succesful medical on Sunday and the arrival has only increased the media speculation that one of the midfield duo will be leaving to fund the transfer. Johnson is likely to be handed either squad number 3 or 4.
In our online poll, 93% of Liverpool fans were in favour of the move, however just over 55% felt the fee was too high.
