Jordan Henderson has claimed that James Milner is the best player during training at Liverpool.

Milner is notorious for the seriousness he takes into training sessions, regularly winning out in fitness and endurance tests. And asked in a fan Q&A with Sky Sports to name the best trainer at Liverpool, Henderson didn’t hesitate to pick a winner.

“I’d say Milly’s always at it in training,” said the Reds captain. “Milly’s always at it.” 37-years-young and still showing everyone up. Never change, Milly.

Milner set to leave gaping hole

If recent reports are to be believed, then Henderson will have to pick a new favourite trainer at the club next season. As per The Athletic, Milner is being pursued by Brighton who are said to be ‘determined’ to sign him.

After eight years at Anfield, the vice-captain is going to be a tough, tough man to replace. Henderson’s latest testimony goes to show just what Milner brings to the table even when not playing.

The former England international is someone who constantly strives for those around him to do better. He keeps standards high and holds players accountable for a lack of effort or quality.

It may not be glamourous, but you need those kinds of characters around a winning squad. Jurgen Klopp has previously spoken of Liverpool not being able to win the trophies they have without Milner. Some may dispute that, but Klopp should know.

If Liverpool’s No.7 does end up leaving this summer, it reportedly won’t be with the blessing of his manager. The Athletic report that Klopp is still keen to retain Milner for yet another season.

As of now, it looks unlikely that Jurgen will get his way. In the bigger picture, that’s perhaps for the best. But someone’s going to have to step up and do the vital job he does for Liverpool.
