Leicester City<\/a> have confirmed the arrival of injury-plagued Manchester City<\/a> midfielder Michael Johnson<\/a> on a season-long loan, following the signature of John Pantsil<\/a>.
<\/span><\/p>\n


Johnson, 23, has been dogged by several injuries since 2008 and was sidelined for all of last season.<\/p>\n

He is reunited with manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, for whom he made 25 appearances at City during his breakthrough period in 2006-07.<\/p>\n

Ghana international defender Pantsil has also joined Leicester, having signed a three-year contract following his departure from Fulham at the end of his deal at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s very good that a player of John’s experience and quality wants to join us,\u201d Eriksson told the Foxes\u2019 official website.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is another established Premier League footballer with a lot of caps at international level.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s very athletic, strong, and I’m sure he will do very well for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we lacked experience in defence last season, we have certainly addressed that with the players we have brought in this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pantsil has made nearly 100 Premier League appearances since moving to West Ham in the summer of 2006, and then to Craven Cottage two years later.<\/p>\n
