Al-Ettifaq coach Gerrard chasing deal for Al-Ahly striker Firmino

Al-Ettifaq coach Steven Gerrard is seeking a reunion with former Liverpool teammate Roberto Firmino.

Gerrard is in the market for a new centre-forward signing next month and believes Firmino can be prised away from Al-Ahly, says the Daily Express.

The Brazil international, 32, joined Al-Ahly last summer, but after a bright start has hit a form slump.

Firmino has scored three goals in 15 games so far this Saudi Pro League season.

The veteran could move to Al-Ettifaq on-loan next month.
