Liverpool signing James Milner has taken the club's iconic No7 shirt.

There was a feeling that Robert Firmino would be handed the No7 – the jersey made famous by Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez – but that honour will now fall to Milner, who will officially become a Liverpool player on July 1.

Brazil international Firmino – whose £29million move from Hoffenheim was rubberstamped, subject to a medical, in Chile during the early hours of Tuesday morning – has asked for the No11 jersey, which is the number he wears for his country.

Milner wore No7 for Manchester City.
