Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool's new signing Danny Ings will take on Fabio Borini's "role" in the squad when he arrives at Anfield next month.

The Merseyside outfit confirmed on Monday that personal terms have been agreed with the 22-year-old, who will become a free agent when his contract at Burnley expires at the end of June.

Carragher believes that despite Ings's impressive form in the Premier League this season when he netted 11 goals for the Clarets, the striker will not be one of the first names on the teamsheet.

"I think Ings will take the role of Borini in the squad & will provide more than he has, that will probably come in the Europa league & Capital one cup to start with then it will be up to him to show if he deserves to start more," Carragher wrote on Kicca.

Last week, Liverpool announced that a deal has been agreed to sign Manchester City midfielder James Milner on a free transfer.
