Cape Town Spurs' Signing of Roberto Firmino’s Lookalike, Maurice Finck, Sends Social Media Into Stitches

• Cape Town Spurs have brought in a defender who bears a striking resemblance to Roberto Firmino
• Maurice Finck signed for Cape Town Spurs from Santos but his looks dominated headlines more than his transfer
• Roberto Firmo's lookalike has been spotted in South Africa after he agreed to sign for Cape Town Spurs

Cape Town Spurs have dipped into the transfer market to sign Roberto Firmino, or his lookalike at least.

Spurs’ new signing, Maurice Finck, has been compared to the Liverpool star, but not for his style of play.

The defender bears a striking resemblance to the Brazilian forward, and fans can’t get over it.

Finck signed for Spurs from Santos, one of the new faces brought into the squad by Shaun Bartlett, KickOff reported. Spurs also brought in Boitumelo Radiopane from Orlando Pirates on loan and Michael Morton from Cape Town All Stars. While little is known about Finck, the news surrounding him has been dominated by his looks.

Previous reports had mentioned that Liverpool were ready to offer Naby Keita in a straight swap deal. Juventus are, however, not interested in the Guinean.

The Liverpool Echo reports that Rabiot is looking to leave Turin this summer. Apart from Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are the other clubs interested in the 27-year-old.
