Jordan Henderson: 'James Milner is a massive signing'

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson believes that the signing of James Milner will provide a huge boost to the Anfield dressing room.

The Merseyside giants concluded a disappointing campaign with a 6-1 defeat at Stoke City, but Henderson has admitted that prizing Milner away from Manchester City is a huge coup for the club.

The 24-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "Milner is a fantastic signing, not only as a player for his quality but as a person in the dressing room, on the training field and the experience he has got - it is a massive signing."

Milner departs the Etihad Stadium having scored 18 goals in 201 appearances in all competitions.
