Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Shay Given believes Roberto Firmino should stay in the Premier League.

The Liverpool forward is departing the club after eight years of winning trophies under boss Jurgen Klopp.

While Firmino may be thinking about a new challenge in another league, Given thinks he can excel for Newcastle.

“Does he want to play for another Premier League club, that is probably the question, or does he go to Germany or Italy or somewhere else?" the former goalkeeper said on BBC Radio 5 Live Football Daily Podcast.

"I'm trying to think of people who have played against their former clubs, John Terry for example at Aston Villa against Chelsea, you lose it a little bit perhaps.

"He could go to Newcastle for example for a couple of seasons and do really well, he's still a top player."
