Brazilian football icon Ronaldinho has taken time out from life as a free agent to give his verdict on Liverpool's latest piece of transfer business.
Roberto Firmino was today confirmed as a Liverpool player, after he signed from German side Hoffenheim for a reported £22m rising to £29m, and the former Barcelona star is very enthusiastic about it.
For Liverpool to have Coutinho and Firmino is a big achievement for them. It is going to give them one of the most exciting midfields in Europe.
The creativity, intelligence, and goals they have between them can change Liverpool as a team, it is a big sign of intent. To have a midfield with those two gives them a big chance to qualify for the Champions League next season.
It is a dream for the Liverpool strikers, to have that sort of service. If you can’t score goals in a team with Coutinho and Firmino in midfield then you wont score goals in any team. They will create so many chances.
A glowing review.
Ronaldinho clearly tips Firmino to be a big hit on Merseyside, as if Liverpool fans weren't excited enough already, then surely that spiel from the king of Samba soccer will have them counting down the minutes until the new season kicks off.
