Liverpools No. 9 has won all there is to win with the Reds and he has proven an instrumental figure for Jurgen Klopp.
The word legend can be thrown around with flippancy in sport, but thats not the case for Firmino. When he does depart, hell be given a send-off that reflects just that.
A maverick and an entertainer, the Brazilians unique flair has lit up Anfield and stadiums across the world and his celebrations will live long in the memory.
In fact, a statistic from Optas Michael Reid states that no other player in the Premier League, since it was first recorded from 2005/06, has been booked more for excessive celebrations than Firmino, who has been shown a yellow card five times.
