Agent: Firmino headed to England

Cape Town - The agent of Hoffenheim star Roberto Firmino has confirmed his player will quit the Bundesliga this summer.

Goal.com report that Brazil playmaker Roberto Firmino will be moving to the Premier League amid strong interest from both Manchester United and Liverpool.

The player's agent told Bild: "All I can say is that he will go to England,"

The Hoffenheim forward is currently on national team duty with Brazil but various reports have indicated that the in-demand player will have his medical in Chile.

Last week, Sport24 reported that Manchester United were interested in signing the 23-year-old Bundesliga star for €18 million.

Fimino has scored 49 goals in 153 games for Hoffenheim.
