James Milner has officially joined Brighton on a free transfer, leaving Liverpool after eight years.

Milner joins high-flying Brighton on a one year deal with the option of a further year. 

The 38-year-old spent eight years at Anfield, playing a part in the success enjoyed under Juergen Klopp. 

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is short of miss fielders after the departure of Alexis Max Allister who moved to Liverpool and the potential exit of Moises Caicedo. The Italian tactician is believed to be an admirer of Milner’a experience, leadership and versatility. 

De Zerbi said, “I’m very glad to welcome James to Brighton. He’s an excellent addition for us and I’m sure he will help to bring us to an even higher level.”
