Johnson honoured by Real Madrid interest

Middlesbrough winger Adam Johnson has admitted that he is flattered by the interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid in signing him.

The Spanish club has been linked with a January move for the 21-year-old winger.

“It is a great honour that Madrid have set their sights on me and I feel very flattered,” he told AS.

“Last summer there was a lot of talk about me joining Tottenham and I know that Juande sent various scouts to see me in different games last season.

“Also I know that now he has gone to Madrid and that they are looking for wide players to sign in January.”

“I play like Robben. I like to dribble with the ball, to go for goal and to look for one-on-one situations,” he added.
