Portsmouth wing-back Glen Johnson has brushed off rumours indicating that he may be in line for a move back to Stamford Bridge. Despite Johnson having already said that he was terribly unsettled at Chelsea, the Blues reportedly lead a host of clubs that are interested in signing the England international.

Tottenham and Liverpool are also rumoured to be in the running for his signature, but Johnson claims that he has not been on the receiving end of a single bid.

"No-one has spoken to me, nothing has been said," the Daily Express quote the 24-year-old as saying.

"As far as I'm concerned I'm a Portsmouth player and I will continue to be."

Johnson recently revealed how frustrated he was during his time with Chelsea, and has said that Portsmouth re-instilled his love for the game.

"It was a not that I lost confidence at Chelsea. I wasn't given a chance," he went on.

"Harry Redknapp signed me and playing week-in, week-out helped me.    

"I've benefited from playing virtually every game with Pompey. That was one of the main reasons I signed."
