Roberto De Zerbi believes James Milner can play for years until he becomes the Premier League’s all-time record appearance maker. Milner's Brighton contract includes an option for an extra 12 months which would give him the chance to beat Gareth Barry’s record. De Zerbi has expressed surprise that Kaoru Mitoma was included in Japan’s Asian Cup squad despite his ankle injury. De Zerbi praised Milner's energy and attitude and believes he can play into his 40s.
