Arsenal Legend Thierry Henry believes Roberto Firmino 'is the most Complete Striker in the League.'
Thierry Henry has hailed Liverpool's Roberto Firmino as the most complete striker in the Premier League so far as he insists he's not concern with best finishers rather than their balanced nature of play.
The former Arsenal forward was full of praise for the Brazilian who he believes is the full package up front. With the N0.9 playing as the engine room for the 'fab three'.
The Brazilian has always being Jurgen Klopp right man since the German came in charge. Klopp has always heap praise on his striker as he labelled him as the 'most under rated player in the world.' His work rate has now caught the eyes of the former Arsenal Man.
'His movement, his work-rate, the way he makes the two central defenders move to allow Mo Salah to make those runs,' Henry told Sky Sports.
'Firmino is the most complete striker in the league.
'I'm not talking about the best finisher or the best work-rate, I'm talking about all round. The most complete in the league.'
Despite the ruthless attacking edge of Mo Salah and prolific record of Harry Kane, it's Firmino who ticks all the boxes for Henry.
The former Hoffenheim man is an integral part of Jurgen Klopp's philosophy and has been directly involved in 41 goals for the Reds this campaign, either scoring or providing an assist.
With Salah and Mane causing havoc down both flanks, the wide men are beneficiaries of Firmino's intelligent movement and ability to create space.
No doubt Real Madrid will look to stifle the 26-year-old who's fortunes on May 26 will go a long way to determining the Champions League final.
