Liverpool right back Glen Johnson has refuted claims he could look to move away from Anfield next year.
The defender has seen himself slip down the pecking order due to a thigh injury and the addition of Javier Manquillo in the summer.
Johnson’s current deal expires at the end of the season and talks over an extension have been inconclusive.This standoff has alerted Italian champions Juventus who were reportedly set to swoop with a transfer bid.
England international Johnson has put rumours of a transfer to rest by stating his desire to stay and fight for his place at last season’s Premier League runners-up.
“My body feels good. I just need some game time. We’ve got a practice match here at Melwood so it would be good to get 90 minutes in there. Other than that I feel good.”
“I just want to take it week by week. I’m back out on the pitch now and I want to stay fit and well and get back in the team and put in some good performances.”
Johnson has made over 170 appearances for Liverpool since his move from Portsmouth in 2009.
