Emerging reports reveal that North London side Arsenal will not be able to secure the signature of Brazilian and Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino either now or in the future.

Although, the Gunners are yet to make any bid for the Liverpool star but it has been revealed that when the Reds secured the service of Roberto Firmino from German Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim, a clause “anti-Arsenal” was added to stop the Emirates Stadium side from bidding for him.

This step was taken by the Merseyside club after the North London side came close to luring former striker Luis Suarez some years back before he eventually had a move to the Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona.

Suggestions are that the Gunners have been making lots of attempts in the past and behind the scene to steal a number of Liverpool players which is already being stopped with the clause.

Roberto Firmino had a perfect last season, merging his force with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to secure a second finish in the Premier League for the Reds as well as reaching the Champions League finals.

However, the Brazilian international has made 23 appearances so far this season and has been able to deliver six goals or his side across all competitions.

Liverpool legend Phil Thompson has hailed Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira as the best signing of the summer in the Premier League.

The former Reds assistant manager and interim manager praised the impact of Lucas Torreira on English football in an interview monitored by Gunnersphere.

According to him, Torreira is an upgrade on previous options like Swiss international star Granit Xhaka and Egyptian player Mohamed ElNeny.

Lucas Torreira signed for the Gunners in the summer after his World Cup exertions with the Uruguayan national team.

The 22-year-old was part of the Uruguay squad that reached the quarterfinals of this summer’s FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia before they were eliminated by eventual champions France via a 2-0 defeat in their last eight clash.

Lucas Torreira teamed up with his Arsenal teammates at the start of August and he has not looked back since then.

Arsenal agreed to a £26m transfer fee with Italian Serie A side Sampdoria for Torreira.

It was also decided that the money would be paid in three instalments.

Torreira has been very impressive for Arsenal since he signed for the club in the summer.

He recently scored his first goal for the Gunners in the 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the league before netting the winner in the last league game against Huddersfield Town.

He has now scored two goals in his last three appearances in the Premier League.
