Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino was rewarded for his strong campaign with a new deal by the Premier League giants.
The Brazil international was rewarded for his performances this season with a long-term extension by the Premier League giants on Sunday.
Firmino, 26, has been a fine contributor for Liverpool since his arrival in 2015, but with Philippe Coutinho and now Mohamed Salah taking centre stage, his displays have sometimes gone under-appreciated.
But he is enjoying his best campaign yet at Anfield and has led the way for the Reds since making the move from Hoffenheim.
We take a look at the Opta numbers behind Firmino’s career at Liverpool so far.
50: Firmino has scored 50 goals in all competitions for Liverpool – the most of any player since the Brazil star made his debut in August 2015.
32: He has contributed 32 assists – also a team-high since his arrival. James Milner (29) and Coutinho (24) are the next best.
82: With 82, he clearly tops the list for goals and assists combined during this period, ahead of Coutinho (62 – 38 goals, 24 assists).
36: The only Brazilian to score more Premier League goals than Firmino (36) is Coutinho (41), but is seemingly set to surge past his former teammate.
27: Firmino has scored 27 goals in all competitions this season, easily bettering his previous two tallies of 11 and 12 for Liverpool.
ICYMI, Roberto Firmino has agreed terms on a new long-term #LFC deal.
