Firmino determined to hit ground running at Liverpool

Roberto Firmino is determined to make his mark at Liverpool next season.

The Brazil international, who is currently on holiday following the Copa America, is preparing to start his Reds career after completing a £29million switch from Hoffenheim.

The attacking midfielder is relishing the chance to test himself in English football after penning a five-year contract.

“First and foremost, I'm looking forward to the new challenge and I'm excited to see what the Premier League has to offer," he said.

“Of course everything will once again be new to me at the start. I'm going to have to get used to a new playing style, but I'll also get the opportunity to improve my game even further there.

“Obviously I'd like to establish myself as a starter in my new team and go on to celebrate a lot of success at Liverpool."
