Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana believes that James Milner will prove to be a quality signing for the club.

​

​ The Reds have moved to sign the pair on Bosman transfers after they failed to agree new contracts with Burnley and Manchester City respectively.

​

​​ “James Milner, he’s a fantastic player," said Lallana.

​

​"He’s played his whole career in different positions."He’s won so many caps, won titles and trophies with Manchester City and it’s great for Liverpool to sign someone like him.“

​

​ “ James is going to be a vital addition to the squad. He’s a complete role model.“He’s got unbelievable ability and sometimes people don’t appreciate that in the way they should. Left foot, right foot, got a goal in his locker and always fit. He’s the perfect player.

​

​

​“It’s a big statement that he chose to come to Liverpool, shows that he’s got ambition. He could have easily stayed at City, but he chose us.

​

​“He’s versatile. He won’t kick up a fuss if he’s asked to play in a different position. It’s a team game and sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself for the team.

​

​“For a player of his ability, to go on a free transfer, it doesn’t happen very often. It’s great Liverpool have persuaded him to come to us.”

​

​ Milner has also been backed to shine by Reds legend Jamie Carragher.





​

​ "You know what he's about in terms of his work ethic and his great stamina," Carragher added.

​

​"Every time we played Manchester City, the fitness coach would come in with the running stats and he would always blow everyone off the chart.

​

​"That's his game, so he'll bring that to the club. He gets goals as well, which is an added bonus.

​

​"He's also an experienced player who has won trophies and that's what we need at this time in the squad."
