Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has revealed that he has been impressed with new signing Roberto Firmino.

The Brazilian was bought for £29m from Hoffenheim earlier in the window and made his first appearance against Swindon Town last weekend.

Can told the club's official website: "He is a very, very good player – he scores a lot of great goals, and that's what we need.

"He plays like a lot of Brazilians – he's a fighter, and technically very strong and capable, and that can only help win matches for us."

Firmino could make his Liverpool debut against Stoke City on Sunday.
