£12million to trigger Johnson deal

The Everton striker is up for sale only if the £12million price tag is reached. David Moyes is the Everton Manager has set the high price to cool transfer talk in an attempt to keep Johnson.

Several clubs have been linked with Andy Johnson including: Wigan Athletic, Middlesbrough, Manchester City, West Ham and Sunderland.

 Everton have already rejected two offers of £10million for the England international. David Moyes has stated that the 27 year old striker is not for sale but every man has his price and Johnson’s is believed to be £12million.

 

It is clear that Moyes is unwilling to sell the player and now all the clubs wishing to make an offer know the approximate price so have to think about how much they are willing to spend.
