As Roberto Firmino is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, pundit Don Hutchison decided to pay ode to him.

The English pundit showed his appreciation towards the £28 million (Sky Sports) man on Twitter, who has been incredible during his time eight-year spell at Anfield.

Pundit Don Hutchison lauded Roberto Firmino and his ‘amazing football brain’ after the initial murmurs about him leaving Liverpool, as he has seemingly always been a huge admirer of his.

The Brazilian international has enjoyed a decorated spell in Merseyside, winning every single possible trophy during his time at the club.

Firmino managed to revolutionise the false nine role during his time in the English top-flight, giving Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane the platform to become the deadliest wing duo in the business.

Pundit Don Hutchison, who has clearly always rated Roberto Firmino extremely highly went out of his way to praise him.

“£29 million and a Liverpool legend! What a player”, he said.

It seems like it is almost impossible not to have been a fan of the silky forward during his time in England.

Roberto Firmino is truly a one-of-one footballer

It is saddening to see Roberto Firmino bid adieu to the Premier League and Liverpool, as pundit Don Hutchison, like the rest of us will miss watching him in action.

In an era where goal and assist numbers dominate discourse around forwards, Firmino managed to gain public acclaim due to his undeniable influence on a game.

As a pure footballer, there simply weren’t many better than the former Hoffenheim man in his prime, as he effected every part of the pitch and did so in style.

Roberto Firmino was as much of a ballerina as he was a beast in defensive situations, which made him a truly one-of-a-kind footballer, who epitomised completeness during his time at Liverpool.
