Atalanta striker Luis Muriel admits he draws inspiration from Liverpool ace Roberto Firmino.

Muriel, speaking with Corriere dello Sport, was asked who he believed was the best in forward in the world.

“You are expecting me to name a player who scores 40 times every season," explained the Colombian.

“I have a different idea and say Firmino because of his huge quality and because it's not just about smashing them in.

"He will send you through on goal with a flick, and for me that is worth more."
