Brazilian legend Ronaldinho has hailed Liverpool new boy Roberto Firmino.

Liverpool managed to pull off a major coup on Wednesday when securing the services of Firmino from German club Hoffenheim.

Compatriot Ronaldinho believes that Liverpool now have one of the best attacking midfield combinations in Firmino and Philippe Coutinho in their ranks, suggesting that the Reds' goal output will increase with the duo in tow.

"For Liverpool to have Coutinho and Firmino is a big achievement for them. It is going to give them one of the most exciting midfields in Europe," said Ronaldinho.

"The creativity, intelligence, and goals they have between them can change Liverpool as a team. It is a big sign of intent. To have a midfield with those two gives them a big chance to qualify for the Champions League next season.

"It is a dream for the Liverpool strikers to have that sort of service. If you can't score goals in a team with Coutinho and Firmino in midfield then you won't score goals in any team. They will create so many chances."
