Metro: Reds close in on star

Liverpool are looking to close the signing of Hoffenheim star Roberto Firmino, with a £18.6 million offer going in.

The Reds have been scouting Brazilian sensation Firmino consistently for the last 18 months - and have been strongly linked with a summer deal.

Arsenal and Manchester United also want the player, but reports say Liverpool are looking to seal the deal, with a £18.6million bid set to be made.

Liverpool are looking to add an extra creative talent next term - and Firmino is seen as the ideal signing.
