Fabinho believes Ibrahima Konate's recent performances have shown why Liverpool were so keen to sign him and explained the importance of him playing alongside Virgil van Dijk or Joel Matip.
Konate was L iverpool’s only major signing of the summer, joining the Reds in a £36million deal from RB Leipzig, as the Anfield club beat off competition from a host of clubs to secure the defender's signature.
The French under-21 international made his Reds debut back in September as he helped his side keep a clean sheet in a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace at Anfield.
