Despite recent setbacks, pundit encourages Fulham to sign Saudi Pro League star

Roberto Firmino is someone Fulham should sign if given the chance.

According to former attacker Stan Collymore of Aston Villa and Liverpool, the Brazilian forward might have a good connection with Raul Jimenez.

After eight incredibly successful years at Anfield, Firmino, 32, left Liverpool last summer. During that time, he helped the Reds win seven major titles, including the 2019–20 Premier League and the 2019 Champions League.

Firmino, who left to pursue a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia’s Pro League, is currently playing for Al-Ahli. Although he was among the top players in the Middle East when he arrived, things haven’t exactly gone as planned for the South American.

With just three goals in his first 19 games, the 32-year-old obviously hasn’t reached the same heights that made him a Merseyside icon.

As a result, only six months after leaving the Premier League, the former Red has been linked to an unexpected comeback.

Three English teams, including Fulham under Marco Silva, are reportedly interested in signing Firmino.

In an exclusive interview, he stated, “I think Fulham and a possible strike partnership with Raul Jimenez could be a really interesting set-up.”

“Fulham is a good team on their day, and I think they should sign him if they have the opportunity because he’d improve them even further.”

Firmino, who still has two years left on his Saudi Arabian contract, amassed 111 goals and 79 assists from 362 games across all competitions while he was a player at Anfield.
