Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino could be set for a shock Premier League stay.

The Brazilian is departing the Reds when his contract expires at the end of this season.

He was thought to be set for a move to South America, while Turkish side Galatasaray also retain interest.

However, Sabah in Turkey now states that while Galatasaray director Erdem Timur wants to sign Firmino, the project is difficult.

The Turkish believe that Chelsea are looking to secure Firmino on a free transfer as well.

The Blues may see him as someone who can help their front line with all his experience.
