Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes James Milner would turn out to be a great signing for manager Brendan Rodgers at Anfield.

The 29-year old is understood to have agreed terms with the Reds and is expected to complete his move to Merseyside next week according to various reports.

"I think it's a very good signing - a free transfer who can play in a few positions and got great experience," Carragher wrote on sports social network Kicca.

"A good character, which you can see from the fact he's left Man City in the Champions League for Liverpool.

"That shows regular starts mean more to him at this time than being a squad player with more chance of picking up trophies at City."
