With Philippe Coutinho’s replacement in the midfield, Jurgen Klopp has just bolstered Liverpool’s midfield this summer.

Officially, Fabio Carvalho is a member of Liverpool. The Portugal Under-21s international became a Red when the clock struck midnight tonight after a compensation deal worth up to a potential £7.7 million had already been agreed upon with Fulham.

Kopites have followed the forward’s performance in front of his expected departure after the club ran out of time to complete a deal for the 19-year-old on the day of the January transfer deadline. They were impressed by what they saw and helped Fulham, the champions of the Championship, gain promotion to the Premier League, even though the goals were a little off. The teenager was obviously affected by transfer rumors.

Even though the goals did slightly try up as transfer rumors understandably affected the teenager, they liked what they saw and helped Fulham achieve promotion to the Premier League as Championship victors.

He previously scored on his full Premier League debut away at Southampton in May 2021, starting up front after the Cottagers’ relegation had been confirmed. Last season, he primarily played behind the talented Aleksandar Mitrovic in the number 10 role for Marco Silva’s team, where he registered an impressive 10 goals and eight assists from 36 appearances. And when promotion and the championship were on the line, he started to produce in front of goal once more despite Anfield’s distractions.

Carvalho joined Darwin Nunez and Calvin Ramsay in signings, and the pair will attempt to replace Sadio Mane, Takumi Minamino, and Divock Origi in Liverpool’s attacking ranks. And while though the £85 million player will bear more of the burden of expectation for goals than the teenager, the Portuguese can still provide something the Reds have been lacking since 2017.
