Brighton & Hove Albion are close to securing James Milner from Liverpool.

The 37-year-old is out of contract in the summer and available on a free transfer.

Per Sky Sports, Milner is likely to leave the Reds as they overhaul their squad for next term.

The Sky report suggests that Brighton are working quietly to conclude the deal as soon as the season ends.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi values Milner's experience and believes he can fill in for his starters in several positions next season.

The veteran has won nearly every major trophy during his time at Liverpool.
