Roberto Firmino
Roberto Firmino is an exciting talent who is attracting interest from Champions League clubs thanks to his performances for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. After breaking into the Brazil side this year, he may be looking to move to a bigger club and test himself in the Champions League, which his current club are unlikely to qualify for. He is 23 years old and has the potential to grow into a top attacking midfield talent, while his game differs to that of other South Americans as his game has developed in Europe. He plays the majority of his football at number ten, but he is capable of playing on either flank or as a makeshift striker. In the recent season, he managed to score 7 goals and get 10 assists which
He plays the majority of his football at number ten, but he is capable of playing on either flank or as a makeshift striker. In the recent season, he managed to score 7 goals and get 10 assists which is a really good return considering he plays for a mid table side in Germany. Firmino’s game is that of a modern attacking midfielder as he is a good dribbler, capable of beating defenders and is effective at playing through balls to split open defences. The Brazilian enjoys to play centrally and drifts into the middle when he can, but he also works hard defensively and that is an attribute that will be important if he moves to England. Manchester United have been most heavily linked, yet Liverpool and Arsenal are other possible destinations.
