Reports suggest a surprising return to the Premier League for Liverpool icon Roberto Firmino. The 32-year-old Brazilian, who departed Anfield in the summer after an illustrious eight-year tenure under Jurgen Klopp, currently plies his trade with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli. Despite an impressive hat-trick on his debut, Firmino has struggled to find the back of the net in his subsequent 18 appearances, turning his move into what is described as a nightmare.

TalkSPORT reveals that Fulham has been “offered the chance” to acquire Firmino, as Marco Silva’s side looks to fill the void left by Aleksandar Mitrovic’s departure. While Raul Jimenez has shown promise with four goals in his last four Premier League games, doubts linger about a long-term solution for their striking needs. Sheffield United had shown interest before managerial changes, but now Fulham seems poised to secure the South American’s services.

Firmino, a key figure in Liverpool’s recent successes under Klopp, boasts an impressive record of 111 goals and 79 assists in 392 appearances for the Reds. His potential return to the Premier League could add experience and depth to Fulham’s attacking options.

Here is the highlight video of Firmino’s goals for Liverpool.
