COULD JOHNNIE BE VILLA BOUND?

Johnsen is seen as an ideal replacement for Azalan Alpay should the Turkey World Cup star make a move to Germany where Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund are all interested in the £8million-rated defender.

If Alpay makes the switch Villa are likely to move for Johnsen.

The Norwegian wants a two-year deal worth £30,000 a week, but Villa want an appearance-linked payment, claims the paper. They have checked his medical record then.
