At present, Firmino has played 352 games for Liverpool, scoring 107 goals and providing 78 assists. In the Premier League alone, the forward has 78 goals and 49 assists to his name across 248 appearances in England’s top flight.
The 31-year-old’s 78 goals holds the record for the most goals scored by a Brazilian in the Premier League, with Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus 20 behind in second with 58.
Firmino has won just one Premier League player of the month award, which came in January 2016.
The Brazil international leaves Liverpool having won everything at the club with his biggest successes coming in 2019 and 2020, where Liverpool won the Champions League and Premier League across both of those years.
