The midfielder believes the signing of winger will be of great benefit to the club.
Jordan Henderson has praised the club’s signing of James Milner and has also urged Raheem Sterling to stay at Anfield.
The Red trio are currently training with the England squad ahead of their games with the Republic of Ireland and Slovenia.
Milner will transfer to Merseyside on a free transfer once his contract with Manchester City expires and it is believed that the winger turned down a lucrative £165,000 a week deal at the Etihad.
Henderson Praises Deal
Henderson said: “It’s brilliant. I’ve spoken to Milly and it’s a fantastic signing.
“His attitude on and off the field is first-class. You know you’ll get energy from him. He’s a quality player. I watched a lot of City players last year and he contributes a lot with assists and goals.
“He’s got a lot of ability. And he does a lot of the dirty work as well.
“For me it’s a fantastic signing and I look forward to playing with him next season.”
Henderson wants Sterling to Stay
The England midfielder also revealed his thoughts on the possible exit of highly rated youngster Raheem Sterling.
“With respect to him he’s obviously left that to whoever’s representing him in regards to what he wants to do,” said Henderson.
“But for me Raheem Sterling is a fantastic player and he’s been brilliant for England, I hope he will stay at Liverpool.
“One thing I love about him is that he’s a great person and a great lad.
“He’s getting a lot of criticism because of the contract situation, but he’s first-class as a person, and all the lads love him whether it’s here with England or Liverpool. He’s a great professional.
“His work ethic is fantastic. He works as hard as he can and wants to improve all the time.”
