Liverpool defender hints at January exit

England international Glen Johnson has admitted that he could leave Liverpool during the winter transfer window, if he fails to cement a regular place in the first-team.

The talented right-back has failed to cement his place in the first-team ever since the 3-0 humiliation at the hands of Manchester City at the Etihad.

With Javier Manquillo likely to fill in his boots at right-back, the former Portsmouth star has insisted that he could leave the Anfield giants, having yet to extend his current deal which expires at the end of the season.

The 30-year-old has made 175 appearances for the Reds so far.
