Güneş was appointed Beşiktaş manager on a two-year deal today and underlined that the team need strengthening in a number of positions.

The Istanbul giants struggled at right-back last season. Turkish international Serdar Kurtuluş did not have a replacement and Slaven Bilic was forced to play central midfielders Necip Uysal and Atiba Hutchinson as a fullback to fill the void when he was not available.

Johnson is expected to sign for Beşiktaş next week.

The 30-year-old right-back is currently available on a free transfer as Liverpool did not renew his contract.

Johnsonjoined Liverpool from Portsmouth for £10 million in 2009 and has made 200 appearances for the Reds.
