Adam lands new £80k-a-week deal

ADAM JOHNSON will sign a new double-your-money four-year contract with Manchester City in the next 48 hours.

The England winger will see his weekly wage go from £40,000 to £80,000 a week to end any doubts about his future.

Johnson, 24, has had to battle to be a regular first-team starter.

He was also angry with Roberto Mancini after the boss questioned his work-rate last month.

But Mancini said: "If he was not a good player, then I wouldn't waste my time saying this.

"But I do as he has everything, I don't want him stopping at this level. I want him up a level — then a level more.

"If he can continue to work hard and to improve he can be one of the best wingers in Europe."

Johnson was Mancini's first buy in January 2010 when he moved from Middlesbrough in a £7million deal and has made 71 appearances scoring 12 goals.

City legend Mike Summerbee, 68, added: "There's no other player like this lad. He excites the crowd with the way he beats people."
