Danny Mills makes unexpected Firmino claim after Sky’s Liverpool transfer reveal

Danny Mills has insisted that Roberto Firmino is at risk of losing his place in the Liverpool side if the club signs Timo Werner this summer. Mills speaking to Football Insider suggested the Werner is best deployed as a number nine. On Friday, Sky Sports Italy have reported that the Reds have asked RB Leipzig for more time to decide on whether they will move for the German forward. When asked by Football Insider who would be in danger of losing their spot in the starting eleven if the German arrived, Mills said: “You would have to say Firmino. Timo Werner is pretty much an out and out centre-forward, a number nine. That is what he is and that is what he does. “It is competition for places and he in an incredibly good striker who is still young and has things to learn. You always want to add quality to your side. Liverpool could get an injury or players go on international duty and it may just flow. They do not need to worry. Look how strong Manchester City’s squad is. Liverpool need that to compete on three fronts.” Source: FootballInsider
