The club that secured an eleventh place in the English Premier League strengthens for the new season - successfully passing a medical examination, for a sum of 8.6 million pounds (more than 43 million litas), forward Andrew Johnson from London, which ranks second in capacity in the English league.
Liverpool had to compete with this 24-year-old forward, and recently Crystal Palace expressed considering the possibility of not letting A. Johnson go anywhere.
The forward showed his best performance two years ago, when although Crystal Palace lost its place in the Premier League, A. Johnson was one of the team leaders and one of the most productive players in the championship.
England's national football team coach Sven-Goran Eriksson included the young forward in the reserve squad of the team preparing for the World Cup. If one of the team's leaders, Wayne Rooney, still fails to recover from a foot injury, there is a good chance that the new Everton signing will be invited to the national team instead of him.
By the way, A. Johnson became the most expensive purchase in Everton's history and will be the highest-paid player on the team next season. The forward will earn 40 thousand pounds per week (more than 200 thousand litas).
