The worst kept secret in football is almost ready to be announced as front page news, well probably back page.
Roy Hodgson`s pursuit of Andrew Johnson, the Everton forward, is almost at an end with Everton releasing the following statement,
‘Everton can confirm that it has agreed an eight-figure sum with Fulham for the services of Andrew Johnson.
‘This is subject to the player agreeing personal terms and negotiating a medical.’
It is believed that the eight figure fee is somewhere between £12 million and £13 million, thereby making Johnson our most expensive player in our history.
For someone who scored 22 goals in 74 appearances for Everton that represents an awful lot of money!
