The Brazilian,  who’s renown for his ‘no-look finishes’, is in the midst of a outstanding season having scored 26 goals in all competitions for the Reds this season. The fact that the 26-year-old, who possesses a prodigious work rate, has 14 assists, suggests that he’s a true team player.

Along with Africans Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, Firmino has formed a deadly strike triumvirate that is the envy of all Europe.
