Former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino scored a hat-trick on his Saudi Pro League debut for Al-Ahli, but he's now lost his starting spot and is looking like a massive transfer flop
The Brazilian striker hit the ground running in the Middle East, but is now looking like a colossal waste of money
he's just released a book about his eight-year stay at Anfield entitled 'Si Senor: My Liverpool Years'.
