Roberto Firmino has admitted that he envisages his long-term future at Liverpool.

The Brazilian has become a pivotal feature of Jurgen Klopp's attack at Anfield, playing alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

This season, the 26-year-old has found the back of the net 19 times in all competitions and has created 10 assists in that time.

Unlike his compatriot Philippe Coutinho, who joined Barcelona in January, Firmino has no plans to leave Merseyside anytime soon.

"Liverpool are one of the greats in Europe and being able to be part of the history of such a great club is gratifying to me," the Brazilian told Esporte.

"I work hard every day to give my best and I believe that the fans, the coaching staff and the board recognise my delivery by wearing that shirt. I'm very happy here at Liverpool and I do not see myself out of that club for years to come.

"I believe I am living one of the best phases of my career and I owe much to the trust that the club has placed in me from the beginning. I feel very good here in Liverpool. I am very adapted to the city, the club, and the warmth I receive from the fans makes me even happier with the work we are producing.

"And all this support makes me even more willing to conquer great things wearing the shirt of Liverpool."

Firmino moved to Anfield from Hoffenheim in 2015.
