This morning, Liverpool announced the signing of Brazilian Roberto Firmino from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, subject to a medical. He is expected to become the second most expensive player ever bought by the club with a fee reported of around £29 million.

Firmino has been impressing for Brazil in the Copa America and has scored four goals for the side in nine appearances. He scored against Venezuela in their tournament in the 2-0 win for Dunga's side.

Brendan Rogers' side have bought a player with a knack for scoring spectacular goals. In his past two seasons in the Bundesliga, he has scored 23 league goals. These are some of his best from the 2013/14 season.

 Last season, he continued his fine form, which included this "no-look" finish against Werder Bremen.

With Liverpool expected to sell Raheem Sterling this summer, they may have found a replacement for the English international who may already be a better player the 20 year old.
