Liverpool's underrated Firmino is one of top three forwards in the world - Brewster

The 19-year-old forward is hoping to feature against Arsenal at Anfield on Wednesday, stepping into the shoes of a player he hugely admires

Roberto Firmino is one of the top three centre forwards in world football, according to his young Liverpool understudy Rhian Brewster.

The 19-year-old will be hoping to fill in for Firmino on Wednesday with Jurgen Klopp likely to field a young side in the Carabao Cup against Arsenal, and he thinks he has been learning from one of the best in the business.

The Brazilian’s unique interpretation of the centre-forward role at Anfield has stood out for Brewster, with the 28-year-old contributing to Liverpool’s pressing game and providing a creative spark alongside scoring 69 goals in 208 appearances.
