Liverpool add Mel Johnson to their scouting deskDuncan Castles Liverpool have strengthened their scouting department ahead of a critical summer transfer window by employing the man responsible for bringing Gareth Bale to Tottenham Hotspur. Mel Johnson has been placed in charge of southern England scouting in a revamped Anfield recruitment system devised by Damien Comolli, the club's director of football strategy. Johnson previously worked under Comolli at Tottenham, where he highlighted Bale's performances as a teenage reserve at Southampton ahead of an eventual £7 million (Dh42.4m) transfer.Johnson, who has more than 25 years experience in football, was compensated for unfair dismissal after Harry Redknapp decided to replace him as chief scout with Ian Broomfield in 2009.
