Jurgen Klopp pays tribute to Roberto Firmino as Sadio Mane makes 'favourite' Liverpool team-mate claim

Jurgen Klopp says he will "be grateful forever" for Roberto Firmino's contributions and believes the outgoing striker should be viewed as one of the all-time greats at Liverpool.

Firmino is a free agent this summer after a decorated eight-year spell at Anfield came to a conclusion at the end of the Premier League season last month and the forward leaves having won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and a first-ever Club World Cup for the Reds in December 2019.

Firmino's arrival in the summer of 2015 preceded Klopp's appointment as manager in October of that year but it was under the German's guidance where he started to really flourish as a centre forward and the Brazilian eventually registered 111 goals for Liverpool before his end-of-season exit.
