The second member of Liverpool’s formidable front three, Firmino has thrived under the management of Jurgen Klopp, and is now one of the finest attacking players in the Premier League. Much like Mane, Firmino’s goal record has improved in recent years, and the Brazilian netted 27 times in all competitions last season, the best goal return of his career.

He is someone who is also more than willing to do the dirty side of the game, and he is often seen getting back and doing his defensive duties. His importance to the Liverpool side was summed up by Klopp’s recent comments, where the German manager said: “Mo Salah, world class, but not every day. Sadio Mane, world class, but not every day. Roberto Firmino, world class, pretty much every day.”
