Roberto Firmino has finally revealed why he's chosen to style his hair in a top knot.

The Brazilian international returned to preseason in the summer sporting a top knot, which divided the opinion of Kopties.

A recent trip to the barbers had reds fans asking if he'd chopped off the controversial knot, but now he's confessed there's a reason for the style.

The haircut is actually inspired by chart-topping Brazilian singer, Wesley Safadao and people in Brazil are loving it.

When Firmino was brought on – and subsequently scored – for Brazil in their 5-0 win over Bolivia on Thursday night, the crowd started chanting ‘Go Safadao’ rather than Firmino’s name.

Even the Brazilian television commentator got in on the act.

For his part, Safadao has posted a message on Instagram noting the resemblance.

And speaking afterwards, LFC forward Firmino revealed: “I’m a big fan of Wesley Safadão, my hair is a tribute to him. The fans screaming his name when I touch the ball made me happy."
