Glen Johnson can be regular

Portsmouth assistant manager Tony Adams believes that Glen Johnson can be a regular for England. The former Chelsea right back impressed for England against the USA and is expected to continue in the full back role.

  • Chelsea join Liverpool & Man Utd in race to sign 26yo
  • Barcelona identify Arsenal midfielder as key transfer target

  • Adams said: "I believe he's one of the best right-backs in this country. I think he's quality. He can be a great player.



    'If I was Capello, I would have no problem playing him whatsoever.



    'It's down to him at the end of the day, but we play him for Portsmouth and he's been fantastic for us all season.



    'I suppose I'm a little bit biased working with him, but I'm looking up and down the country at the right-backs that are English and he's got to be right up there. I don't see many better to be honest with you.



    'The thing we showed him was love and if Capello wants to play him, he's got to believe in him and put him in the team and say "you're my right-back so go and deliver" – and I think he could.



    'That's the thing with Glen, he's a confidence player.



    'At Portsmouth, we look after him, he knows he's one of the top players at the club and that gives him the confidence.



    'By playing him for England, the manager would be doing the same.'"
