Jamie Carragher<\/a> has praised Stewart Downing<\/a> as the Aston Villa<\/a> winger looks set to complete his move to Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Merseyside outfit have all but officially wrapped up the signing of the England international, who has undergone a medical with the Reds after a fee had been agreed for him to move to Anfield.<\/p>\n

Carragher told reporters: “It’s a terrific signing, there’s no doubt about that whatsoever.<\/p>\n

“He’s been a top player in the Premier League for the last six or seven years and he will make a difference, with his ability to go outside and down the line to get quality crosses in.<\/p>\n

“He was Aston Villa’s player of the year and he will give us something that we have been lacking, genuine quality on the left-hand side.”<\/p>\n

Carragher also praised the recent improvements in the depth in Liverpool’s squad, and believes that Downing would fit in not solely for his ability, but also his personality.<\/p>\n

“Every team looking to compete needs quality players in each position and that is what we are getting back towards,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I know him, so does Stevie Gerrard, he knows Andy Carroll and Johnno Glen Johnson from playing for England, so he is not going to be walking into a dressing room and be on his own.<\/p>\n

“He will get a great welcome because he’s a good lad and a top player as well.”
