Roberto Firmino has signed a new “long-term” contract with Liverpool, calling it an “easy decision”.

The Brazilian has enjoyed a superb season, scoring 27 goals in 50 games and forming part of one of Europe’s most-feared front threes alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

Firmino told Liverpoolfc.com: “It was an easy decision.

“The club have taken me in in an incredible way and I’ve grown a lot here with my work with the support of the whole team. I am very, very happy here.

“Everything fits in the best possible way. My teammates are fantastic and I am very grateful to be able to play with them at this club.

“I love to play for Liverpool FC. The fans are excellent and fantastic in how they support us all the way. They support us throughout the games and the work they do during the match is beautiful.”
