Is Roberto Firmino being offered to Fulham?
The idea of Roberto Firmino playing for another Premier League club is still strange, now that he is no longer a Liverpool player. Although he currently plays for Al Ahli, there are rumors that he could leave due to struggling for playing time and goals in the Saudi Pro League.
TalkSPORTS’ Phil Spencer and Alex Crook have reported that Fulham is among the Premier League clubs that have been offered the chance to sign Firmino. However, it is uncertain if this is reliable information, and it would be difficult to see him play for another team so close to home.
Despite this, sources close to Firmino insisted in December that he is still enjoying life at Al Ahli. In other news, Liverpool trained on Friday, and Arsenal is without five players for Sunday’s third-round tie due to injury and international call-ups.
Firmino was in the stands at Anfield on Monday to watch Liverpool beat Newcastle, and he was busy signing his new book for fans on Friday. Fans were united against the decision to send Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin off at Crystal Palace, and the Toffees have lodged an appeal.
