Emre Can: This Liverpool star is the best penalty taker I've ever seen
EMRE CAN insists his Liverpool team-mate James Milner is the most reliable penalty taker he has ever seen.
James Milner has already scored four penalties this season
Milner has already found the net four times from the spot this season.
The former England international has now scored seven penalties without missing since joining Liverpool in 2015.
Can has also been impressed with how Milner has slotted in at left-back this term, but admits it is his penalty taking that really stands out.
“I’m young, but I haven’t seen in any of my teams so far such a good penalty taker," Can told Liverpool's official website.
"In training, every ball is in the net. He’s a very, very good penalty taker.”
“It has surprised a lot of people [Milner's transition to defence], because it’s not easy to play at left-back from midfield.
“But Millie did it very well and I think he has scored more goals than last year in this time.
"He’s a very important player for us. He has to keep going like that and the team has to keep going like that.”
