Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold thinks James Milner demonstrates the “highest standards” he has ever seen from any player.
Milner is currently in his fourth season with the Reds at the age of 32 and is currently more important than he has ever been – starting in 12 matches in all competitions this term.
And his team-mate Alexander-Arnold has some glowing praise for the Leeds-born midfielder.
“I’d say James Milner is the most consistent player I’ve ever played or trained with – I’ve never seen him have a bad session or a bad game,” Alexander-Arnold told the official Liverpool FC magazine.
“He’s so reliable and so versatile as well and that’s everything you want in a player.
“He’ll put his body on the line for the team and he’s non-stop. When times are hard, he’ll put in a tackle that lifts everyone and gets everyone up for the game. He brings the energy that the team needs.
“Off the pitch he holds the highest standards that I’ve probably ever seen in someone.
“He demands a lot from himself and seeing that on a daily basis is incredible. He’ll never give up in training, he’ll never stop running, and it gives you that motivation to do the same.”
