Liverpool PRAISED for pulling off 'great' summer transfer deals in Milner and Ings
IAN RUSH has commended Liverpool for their summer transfer business so far.
Danny Ings - Spotlight On
The Reds have taken a low-budget approach to their early signings, bringing in James Milner and Danny Ings on free transfers, although a compensation fee will be due to Burnley for the latter.
And while the moves have left some fans underwhelmed, Rush claims both players will make a real difference at Anfield next term.
I think Milner is a great signing.
He told talkSPORT: “I think Milner is a great signing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him have a bad game.
“What I like about Ings is his understanding inside the box. His movement is very good.
"He has quality with both feet and I think he’s got more in his locker.”
James Milner has joined Liverpool
Ings looks like being called into action early next season with Daniel Sturridge set to remain sidelined with injury and the futures of Mario Balotelli, Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini up in the air.
Rush added: “With Daniel not being available until September or October, we should forget about him at the moment and concentrate on what we’ve got.
“I think Ings will have a major part to play when we have pre-season games. I think he will be given a chance because he’s a quality player.”
