Thierry Henry believes Liverpool’s Brazilian ace Roberto Firmino is the Premier League’s most complete striker.
Roberto Firmino has spearheaded Liverpool’s electric attacking line brilliantly this term, and has bagged an impressive 26 goals in all competitions, with the Champions League final still to come later this month.
Although his contribution – in terms of numbers – has been trounced by Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah, Reds’ supporters still adore the 26-year-old and see him as the linchpin to knit everything together in the final third.
The old footballing proverb says game recognises game, and that is certainly the case with Sky Sports pundit and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry when it comes to Firmino. The Frenchman lavished high praise on the forward, claiming he is the “most complete striker in the league,” in an interview with Sky Sports (15/05/2018).
“I’m not talking about the best finisher or the best work rate, I’m talking about all round. The most complete in the league.”
High praise from one of the best ever, then.
