Brazilian international, Roberto Firmino has signed a five year deal worth £29 million with Liverpool.  The striker had previously played for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, where he scored 47 goals in 151 games.  This deal will rank second in Liverpool’s largest signings, only behind Andy Carroll’s £35 million deal to join the club back in 2011.  According to Sky Sports, Firmino may have been brought on to the club to replace Raheem Sterling with speculation growing that the England international will join another club, potentially Manchester City, sometime in the near future.

           Pending a medical next week, Petr Cech will be set to join the Gunners.  Arsenal have agreed to a £10.9 million fee for Cech.  Although the Czech Republic international is now 33 years old, he is out to prove that he is still one of the best keepers in the world.  According to Mirror, Chelsea skipper, Jose Mourinho, believes that selling Cech to Arsenal is a big mistake.  Cech was told by Chelsea’s board that he was free to join any club he wanted, but Mourinho probably wasn’t expecting him to join the cross town rival.
