Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has said that Antonio Rudiger would be making a ‘mistake’ should he choose to move to Newcastle United. The German defender is out of contract at the end of the season and is now able to negotiate a free transfer elsewhere.
A number of clubs appear to be in the race for the former Roma man’s services including Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid. Another surprise contender appears to be Newcastle United, who are reportedly set to make an effort to sign Rudiger with their new-found riches.
It of course remains to be seen where the German defender will end up if he elects to leave Chelsea but one man who would not be a fan of a switch to St James’ Park is ex-Blues defender Johnson.
