Former Newcastle United midfielder James Milner is set to leave Liverpool this summer – and Brighton and Hove Albion are tipped to sign him.

Milner – who joined the club eight years ago – has made 328 appearances, and won six major trophies, during his time at Anfield.

However, the 37-year-old will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

And Brighton, according to a number of reports, is the former England international's most likely destination.

Speaking recently, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "We have different plans for Milly, but Milly wants to keep playing.

"You can’t judge him because of his age or whatever. He is 37, but doesn’t look a day like this. When he's in training, he's there, full throttle. He's an incredibly important player. It's not that Milly expects to play 64 games a season, but, in 64 games a season, Milly could be incredibly important."

Newcastle signed Milner from Leeds United, his boyhood club, in 2004. Milner spent four years at St James' Park before joining Aston Villa in a £12million deal during Kevin Keegan's second spell as manager.
