How many Premier League games James Milner needs to play to seal record amid contract extension
James Milner, 39, has agreed to a one-year contract extension with Brighton and Hove Albion, potentially extending his career to a 24th season.
The former Manchester City and Leeds United player aims to surpass Gareth Barry 's record of 653 Premier League appearances; James Milner currently has 638 and needs to play 16 more games.
Due to an injury last August, James Milner only made four league appearances in the 2024-25 season.
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler values his veteran player's experience, especially for younger footballers in the squad.
Brighton finished eighth last season and recently signed Greek forward Charalampos Kostoulas.
