Liverpool recruit James Milner has insisted that the club's fans will see the best of him as he looks to play a central role in the Anfield side.

Milner joined the Reds earlier this summer having failed to agree a new contract with Manchester City, and has since stated that he plans to nail down a more specific role in Brendan Rodgers's team after playing in a number of different positions at City.

"This move was a selfish move for me," said Milner, according to the Daily Mail.

"I played at City in different positions. The team will always come first, that's the way I believe it should be.

"But I think the move to come to here and take that mantle on myself was more of a selfish move and hopefully I can contribute to success at Liverpool. I'd like to think you will see the best of me now I am in the central role."

Milner spent five years at City, scoring 13 goals in 147 appearances for the club.
