‘Firmino is a genius and makes Liverpool tick’ – Brazilian forward a ‘dream partner’, says Crouch

Roberto Firmino is “a genius” and the man “who makes Liverpool tick”, says Peter Crouch, with the Brazilian forward considered to be “a dream partner” and deserving of a Ballon d’Or nod.

The 28-year-old has been on the books at Anfield since the summer of 2015.

He had never been prolific throughout his career, but did register 27 goals in the 2017-18 campaign and another 16 last term as Liverpool became Champions League winners.
