Roberto Firmino Camp Issue Statement On Premier League Return

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.

The prolific Brazilian forward got off the mark for Al-Ahli, making a banging start with a hat-trick on his Saudi Pro League debut.

It was a groundbreaking start to life for the 34-year-old. However, the waves of fortune flipped suddenly with the former Hoffenheim forward struggling to find the back of the net in subsequent matches.

He has failed to add a single goal to his hat-trick and was reportedly struggling to find his feet in his new home.

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.
