Liverpool fans have reacted with delight at Roberto Firmino’s latest Instagram story.

‘Agent Bobby’ is at it again as the forward took a selfie with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson and the internet has given him a massive pat on the back.

The transfer rumour hype machine has been going into overload this January, especially as the Reds need to strengthen their goalkeeping options.

Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius are both a step down from the quality needed to drive the team towards domestic honours, and as a result Liverpool have been linked with a number of stoppers.

This picture won’t add to those rumours, but it might help inject a little humour into the whole shebang.

Reds fans definitely need cheering up after a dismal 1-0 loss away to Swansea City, which is rooted in the context of a thrilling 4-3 win against City.

Karius has been newly installed as manager Jurgen Klopp’s first choice goalkeeper, but the arrival of Alisson or someone of similar quality would quickly change that.

Klopp has shown that he isn’t interested in panic buys during the window. The German takes his time and generally gets things right.

When Virgil van Dijk couldn’t be brought to Anfield over the summer, the club didn’t rush to bring in an inferior player. They eventually got their man.

That’s why the board and the manager deserve patience from the fans as well as understanding around the intricate nature of transfers.

Although it couldn’t hurt to send Firmino out to have a few more whispers in the ears of his national teammates.
