Liverpool have completed the signing of striker Roberto Firmino
from Hoffenheim in a £21m deal.
Formerly with Figueirense in Brazil, Firmino can play anywhere
across the front three, and is currently on Copa America duty with Brazil.
Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre flew to Chile to get the deal
done, and did so in the early hours of Wednesday morning, UK
time - though the deal is still subject to a medical that will not take place until after Brazil have concluded their participation in the Copa America.
Firmino, 23, is Liverpool’s fifth signing of the summer as boss
Brendan Rodgers rebuilds his squad following a disappointing
Premier League campaign. Danny Ings, Adam Bodgan,
Joe Gomez and James Milner have also been brought in.
