Schalke are eyeing Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson.

The England international comes off contract next month and will leave Anfield this summer.

Johnson has been linked with West Ham United this week.

However, Schalke are also in the frame and hope to tempt him to the Bundesliga.

Johnson has no shortage of offers from the continent, which include Napoli, Juventus and Barcelona.

The defender has been taking Spanish lessons for the past 18 months.
