The Brazil international moved to the club for an initial €30 million last month, a fee that could rise to €39m.
Rodgers has little doubt that Firmino will prove to be a hit in the Premier League, having scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists for Hoffenheim in all competitions in 2014-15. He said: “Roberto Firmino is a top class player. Of course there is no pressure. He will come into the Premier League, it takes a bit of time to adapt. But he has all the traits we want from a player. He works very hard.”
