Carra backs Ings to grasp Reds chance
Jamie Carragher has encouraged Danny Ings to make the most of every chance to show his worth for Liverpool once he completes a switch to the club next month.
The Reds announced on Monday that personal terms have been agreed with the 22-year-old striker and he will seal the transfer on July 1, subject to a medical.
Ings found the target 11 times in the Barclays Premier League last season and missed only three matches as Burnley were relegated.
"He did very well at Burnley," Carragher told Liverpoolfc.com following the announcement of the deal.
"You could see his hold-up play and his work ethic, and when he got chances he finished more often than not. He had a very good season.
"He is someone Brendan Rodgers knows from the lower leagues from years before. It will be up to him when he gets chances to try to get goals that will cement him in the first team."
The move for Ings followed confirmation last week that James Milner is set to arrive at Anfield on a free transfer from Manchester City.
Having crossed paths with the England international as opponents, Carragher understands exactly what the midfielder can bring to Liverpool.
"You know what he's about in terms of his work ethic and his great stamina," the former centre-back said.
"Every time we played Manchester City, the fitness coach would come in with the running stats and he would always blow everyone off the chart.
"That's his game, so he'll bring that to the club. He gets goals as well, which is an added bonus.
"He's also an experienced player who has won trophies and that's what we need at this time in the squad."
