The Brazil international became the Reds second most expensive signing ever after arriving for £29 million last month following a very successful spell with Hoffenheim.
Babel played with the Brazilian during their time together in Germany and the former Liverpool winger expects Firmino become a firm favorite once he settles into life in England. He said: “He is a tricky player. He can dribble, shoot, he has a great shot, he can play a lot of through balls and his assists are very good. He is actually also great at heading, which maybe you wouldn’t think because he’s not that tall, but he’s very good at it.”
Babel continued: “He’s the kind of player that likes the ball at his feet and to do nice things with it, but something he learned in Germany was how to work without the ball and defend. I’m very happy for him. He’s very talented and now it is down to him. He is the kind of player that can give a lot of joy to Liverpool fans because he’s a very skilful player.”
