Glen Johnson: Stoke clinch deal for ex-Liverpool defender

Stoke City have agreed a deal to sign former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson.
The 30-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the option for a third year, after his release by the Reds.
Potters boss Mark Hughes said of the England international: "He will be a fantastic addition. He's a talented defender who also chips in with goals."
Hiss arrival remains subject to finalising of formalities, but he has joined up with Stoke in Singapore ahead of the Barclays Asia Trophy.
It comes after Hughes confirmed that he expects goalkeeper Asmir Begovic to seal a move to Premier League champions Chelsea.
Right-back Johnson, who arrived at Anfield for £17.5m from Portsmouth in 2009, will link up with summer arrivals Marco van Ginkel, Shay Given, Joselu, Philipp Wollscheid and Jakob Haugaard at the Britannia Stadium.
The former West Ham trainee won 54 caps between 2003 and 2014. He appeared in the 2012 European Championship finals, and last year's World Cup in Brazil.
He spent six years at Anfield, with his final game for Liverpool coming in the 1-1 Premier League draw at Chelsea in May.

Asmir Begovic is set to leave Stoke after five-and-a-half years at the Britannia Stadium
Bosnia-Herzegovina international Begovic is set to complete an £8m move to Stamford Bridge, where the 28-year-old will compete with Thibaut Courtois for the number one spot.
Former Chelsea striker Hughes told Sky Sports: "I haven't had an update but my understanding is that he's likely to travel to Chelsea and that will be concluded.
"Having worked with Asmir, he will back his ability and he would think he will challenge and get game time, or he wouldn't have gone there.
"He's a confident and very accomplished goalkeeper so he'll push whoever's the number one very, very hard."
Stoke are in Singapore for the Asia Trophy, where they will face Everton on Wednesday.

Asmir Begovic: Chelsea sign goalkeeper from Stoke City

Chelsea have signed goalkeeper Asmir Begovic from Premier League rivals Stoke City for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £8m.
The Bosnia-Hercegovina international joins Chelsea on a four-year deal.
Stoke had hoped to keep the 28-year-old, who had one year remaining on his contract at the Britannia Stadium.
"I have loved my time at Stoke but feel I had to take this opportunity to continue to develop and challenge myself as a player," Begovic said.
Begovic, who joined the Potters from Portsmouth in 2010, is the champions' second signing of the summer following the arrival of Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan.
"I am very happy to be joining Chelsea," said Begovic.
"After speaking at length to the manager, I feel like I can develop here and be an important part of this team. I am looking forward to meeting up with the team on Wednesday for the pre-season tour."
Begovic, who will challenge Thibaut Courtois for the main goalkeeper role, will take the number one shirt left vacant following the sale of Petr Cech to Arsenal.

Can't see it (the transfer) playing out any other way tbh

He wanted to leave
We didn't particularly want him to leave
Him and his agent 'poisoned the well'
Left us no option in the end but to push for as much as we could (un)reasonably get

Glad we got silly money under the circumstances

I guess BR is probably gonna waste the money and dig his own grave.
If he does not pull out a world class signing then its only a matter of time for him.
