Former Liverpool player Glenn Johnson has revealed that Roman Abramovich once turned up at his house with an entourage in an attempt to stop him moving to Anfield and come back to Chelsea instead.
The Reds signed the England right-back from Portsmouth for a fee of £18million back in the summer of 2009, but his path to Anfield was apparently not a straight forward one.
Johnson had a number of offers on the table before opting to head up north, but not before Russian oligarch Abramovich attempted to persuade him to move back to former club Chelsea.
