Liverpool have an exciting academy prospect who is in the same mould as Roberto Firmino.
It's a real shame Arne Slot never really got to manage the Brazilian forward. Considering the Dutchman likes his no.9 to be both a goal-scorer and a facilitator, he would have almost certainly loved working with Firmino.

The former Reds cult favourite was everything that Slot wanted. He scored goals, created opportunities for his teammates both with his on the ball work and his off the ball movement.
And at the same time, he covered a lot of ground and put in a very solid defensive shift every time he was on the pitch.

Right now, it's exactly that kind of no.9 Slot is searching for to bring into his side and he might not have to wait for much longer because there is a 17-year-old academy star who is playing in that exact mould this season.
Why Josh Sonni-Lambie is a Firmino regen
One player who we have written about who is very similar to Firmino and has been in great form for the club's U18 side this season is Josh Sonni-Lambie.
Now speaking on the Anfield Watch YouTube channel, Liverpool academy expert also likened Sonni-Lambie to the Brazilian.
"He's one who's shot up physically in the last year as well,' Bower said.
"Which is quite interesting to see how he will end up in terms of height and how he deals with contact as well.
"He's very much a modern striker. The Firmino type role, the cunner with a, with a dash of invention in him as well. He's a really smooth dribbler of the ball. He's good in tight spaces and he's definitely a player to watch for me."

Picked up from Liverpool at the age of 14 after being spotted at grassroots level in London, Sonni-Lambie has that street football style that makes him eerily similar to Firmino in his first control.
This season he averages 3.62 dribbles per 90 and completes 60% of his attempts while also averaging 4.46 defensive duels and making 1.46 interceptions.
Given Slot is looking for that type of attacker and given the form Sonni-Lambie is in, it's only a matter of time until the teenager is given a chance at first team level.
Depending on outgoings and what happens this summer, he could even be involved in pre-season with the first team.
He's certainly ready for an opportunity at a higher level. He's showcasing this season that he's too good for the U18 Premier League.
Liverpool like to promote young talent, especially ones who fit into the style of the first team and that is why Sonni-Lambie is one to keep a very close eye on.
