Queens Park Rangers striker Andy Johnson has welcomed the club's reported interest in signing Tottenham ace Jermain Defoe.
Meanwhile, Johnson hopes Joey Barton will stay at the club feeling he will be a huge asset to QPR if he remains at Loftus Road. Barton has previously suggested he would be leaving QPR this summer as he hopes to win a return to Marseille after a successful spell on loan in France last season. However, Barton is still at QPR and, having started Saturday's 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday, Johnson would like to see him stay at the club. "Joey is fantastic. Nobody will question his ability, talent or commitment to the team," added Johnson. "Joey's a great lad. I have gelled well with him off the field. He is great to have around the place. "He will be an asset if he stays."
