Brighton veteran James Milner has paid tribute to former Liverpool teammate Roberto Firmino.

Like Milner, Firmino left Liverpool over the summer, joining Al-Ahli.

"Bobby was incredible. As a guy super chilled, super nice. Just nodded and smiled," Milner said. "I think that was him understanding my accent some of the time, but he never questioned it if he didn't understand. A great guy to have around the place.

"As a player, receiving the ball in tight spaces, unbelievable. One touch in tight areas, scored big goals. Without the ball he was incredible as well - he used to win the ball back for us so many times, started the press, worked so hard.

"He's one of those players that I think unless you watched him every week or played with him, I don't think you realise how good he is. He is incredible."
