Ex-Liverpool defender Johnson backing move for Leeds winger Raphinha

Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson would like to see a move for Leeds United winger Raphinha.

Johnson believes his old club will be looking at potentially signing Raphinha, but on one condition.

“I like him. I'm a big fan," Johnson told BettingOdds.com.

“The style of football that Leeds play suits him, he has the shackles off and he's technically great.

“If he did sign for Liverpool then I wouldn't expect him to demand a place in their starting eleven, but he would certainly be one of those players on the fringe and would definitely strengthen the squad.

“He's the sort of player that would suit Liverpool's style of play too, so if the money was right then I'm sure he would be high on their list of targets."
