Johnson will play anywhere for Liverpool

Glen Johnson says he's happy to play anywhere for Liverpool.

England fullback Johnson was tipped as a centre-half when at West Ham United and said: "I think when young lads come through, people will speculate about the different positions they can play in. I started out as a striker when I was young, and then in the West Ham youth teams I played centre-back, right-back and even in midfield.

"Obviously when I broke into the first-team I played right-back. I think coaches like to put you on the outside of the defence when you're young because centre-back is such a big position and it's not easy for a 16/17-year-old to step into the first-team in the Premier League and play there."
