James Milner has been given a beautiful present from Liverpool FC ahead of his final match for the Merseyside club.
The 37-year-old England International midfielder will depart the six times UEFA Champions League winners at the end of the current campaign when his deal with the club expires.
James Milner, a dynamic midfielder who has won numerous trophies during his time with Liverpool, will be leaving the club this weekend.
According to reports, Liverpool confirmed James Milner’s departure with the Reds set to enter a new era under the direction of head coach Jurgen Klopp.
However, James Milner’s most aggravating quality has won him an extremely extraordinary parting prize from Liverpool staff.
The 37-year-old joined Liverpool in 2015 from Manchester City and has since won every domestic prize available including the Premier League.
What present did James Milner receive from Liverpool?
Because Milner had destroyed so many penalty spots during his long tenure at Liverpool, the grounds crew at Kirkby had one made for him to take home during his final week at the club training ground.
Dave McCullough, the head groundsman, and his crew wrote: “To James, after eight years of destroying our pen spots, it’s now time you looked after one yourself”.
They added: “Best of luck for the future. All the ground staff”.
In response to the groundsman’s present, Milner took to his Twitter page and posted an image of the gift with a caption; “What a gift that is! No pressure there then, I better get my scissors and pink ruler back out”.
What’s next for James Milner?
Brighton is reportedly leading the race to sign Milner, but he may want to return to his childhood club Leeds United if the Whites can maintain their Premier League status.
However, Klopp has been effusive in his appreciation of the versatile midfielder, ensuring that he leaves Anfield as a modern great.
On the other hand, Milner reflects on his time at Liverpool in his usual modest manner, although he does say that he has achieved all of his goals during his time with the Reds.
