Roberto Firmino is arguably Jurgen Klopp's most important player and the German's glowing recommendation of his front-man in 2017 sums up the situation perfectly.

"Mohamed Salah, world class, but not every day. Sadio Mane, world class, but not every day. Roberto Firmino, world class, pretty much every day."

The Brazilian won the Champions League with Liverpool and spearheaded Brazil to their first Copa America crown since 2007, thereby capping off a sensational season for club and country.

Having returned to training last week, the 27-year-old scored in his only pre-season outing against Lyon and looked sharp against Manchester City in the Community Shield.

Firmino's tireless work-ethic and his unselfishness brings the best out of Mane and Salah, making him an indispensable member of the side.

With the Reds chasing their maiden Premier League crown, Klopp will be hoping Firmino is at his brilliant best in order to facilitate the title-charge.
