Former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino has expressed his admiration for the club’s new attacking options, praising their quality and potential to make history at Anfield.
Speaking about Liverpool’s revamped forward line, Firmino said the new players have already proven they belong at the top level:
“They’ve already shown that they’re top-class players,” Firmino remarked. “I didn’t know much about Hugo Ekitike before he joined Frankfurt, but he’s already demonstrated his ability with goals, energy, and determination. You can see his hunger to become a key figure in Liverpool’s story.”
The Brazilian also extended his best wishes to Alexander Isak and Ekitike, both of whom have quickly become focal points in Arne Slot’s attacking system.
“I wish them both the very best,” he continued. “It’s only the beginning of their Liverpool journey, and I believe they have everything it takes to succeed.”
Firmino, who became a fan favorite during his eight-year spell at Anfield, knows better than most what it takes to thrive under the intense expectations of the Liverpool faithful. His words of encouragement serve as both a vote of confidence and a reminder of the club’s tradition of developing forwards who combine flair, intelligence, and relentless work rate.
As Slot continues shaping his version of Liverpool, the emergence of Isak and Ekitike offers hope that a new era of attacking brilliance may be on the horizon — one worthy of Firmino’s legacy
