Paedophile footballer Adam Johnson ‘plans to make big-money move to play in Far East’ when he gets out of prison
Disgraced former Sunderland player is said to be continuing to train behind bars
SHAMED footballer Adam Johnson is reportedly planning to make millions playing in China when is released from jail.
The disgraced former Sunderland player is said to be looking at making a big money move to the Far East as he continues to train behind bars.
Former England and Man City star Johnson was jailed for six years for engaging in sexual activity with a besotted 15-year-old fan.
According to the he has told fellow prisoners he has had interest from clubs in the Far East.
Johnson had hoped to make megabucks in the US in Major League Soccer but is unlikely to be allowed to live in America as a convicted sex offender.
But the same rules are unlikely to apply in China and Johnson, 29, reckons he will be able to make the move.
A source said: “They won’t care about his convictions. They just care that he can play. While he is inside he is constantly in the gym.”

It was reported yesterday Johnson had won back his ex-girlfriend Stacey Flounders with the promise of £2million dream home.
The shamed star is believed to have rekindled his relationship with the mother of his child from behind bars.
The pair split but it looks as if they may be giving their relationship another go after reports they kissed during a prison visit.
Fellow visitors at HMP Moorland, near Doncaster, said Johnson “looked like he’d won the cup” as he cuddled Stacey.
One said: “It was like, ‘get a room’.”
Stacey, 26, is believed to be overseeing the construction of a new home nearby after Johnson put their £1.8million home up for sale.
She has reportedly agreed to meet Johnson at the property when he is released from prison.
A friend of Stacey said: “She is an old fashioned girl and desperately wants the best for Ayla.
“She realises that would ideally involve her daughter being raised within a stable family. Adam has convinced her they can put the past behind them and start afresh.”
The former air hostess revealed this week that she is jetting off on her third holiday since her ex was jailed for child sex crimes.
Stacey tweeted that she and her daughter with disgraced Johnson would be going away at the end of the week.
She left for Dubai with girl pals soon after Johnson was jailed and was spotted partying with revellers in bars and clubs.
The mum-of-one then left for a break with her family in June, telling followers on Twitter: “Having a fab time with the family.”
