Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson could be set to quit the club, according to reports. The player had been told that he is surplus to requirements at the City of Manchester, and Arsenal and Chelsea are on high alert.

The player is regarded as one of the best young prospects in the Premiership at the moment, and it is unlikely that City will let the player leave for less than 8 million GBP.

Johnson proved last year in the Premiership that he is a brilliant talent, but injuries have blighted the youngster's career so far.

Arsenal and Chelsea though will be interested to hear that the player could be allowed to leave.
