Liverpool legend and Al-Ahli forward Roberto Firmino has been linked with a return to the Premier League, MySportDab reports.
Firmino left Liverpool last summer to join Al-Ahli as a free agent following his dwindling fortunes at Anfield.

Firmino’s dragging goal drought sparked rumors of his imminent transfer exit from Al-Ahli. As per reports, Firmino was disillusioned with his stint in Saudi Arabia six months into his contract and was eyeing a return to the Premier League.
