The full-back thinks his Brazilian counterpart may not get the accolades awarded to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, but he is just as important
Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has praised his team-mate Roberto Firmino by claiming he is the ‘best No.9 in world football’.
The Brazilian has enjoyed a superb start to the new season and not just for his goal scoring prowess, with the 27-year-old netting two in five Premier League games.
However, pundits have also been quick to highlight Firmino’s selfless work rate and he often proves to be the glue needed for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to operate at their best for the Reds.
