Martin Skrtel has backed Glen Johnson to be a massive hit at Anfield

Martin SkrtelThe Slovakian knows what it takes to fit into one of the best defences in Europe having become a Kop favourite since his January 2008 move from the Russian Premier League.

Now Skrtel reckons Johnson will do the same after completing his switch from Portsmouth on Friday.

"He is a very good player and he will definitely be a success. So I am happy that he is with us," he said.

Skrtel will return to Liverpool in early July ahead of pre-season.

However, the 24-year-old has attempted to get a head start in preparing for 2009-10.

"It was so pleasant to spend a few days just doing nothing," explained Skrtel. "Now I go to the gym in the mornings and it takes some time to get used to it. But don't worry, I'll be fine!"
