Roberto Firmino is being tipped to quit Liverpool this summer because of new star player Diogo Jota
Now that Diogo Jota is fit again, long-term Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino will struggle to get game time and that possibly could trigger his exit.
That's the view of one of Premier League's most-prolific former marksmen, Kevin Phillips who netted 30 goals for Sunderland in the 1999/2000 season.
The 47-year-old told Football Insider : "Jota is a Firmino replacement in my opinion.
"I've always said that if any of the front three were to be moved on this summer it would be Firmino and I think it could happen.
"He's been magnificent for Liverpool and he still is but he hasn't scored enough goals this season.
"Jota coming in is like a breath of fresh air and he’s picked up where he left off. I loved him at Wolves and now he’s carried that on to an even bigger stage.
"I'd be very surprised if Firmino managed to get back in the side before the end of the season."
