Fabio Carvalho lifts lid on Jurgen Klopp talks and why he was always joining Liverpool

Fabio Carvalho has outlined why he was always going to sign for Liverpool and the talks he had with Jurgen Klopp ahead of his exit from Fulham.

The Reds signed the Portuguese teenage playmaker from the Cottagers in May after a move collapsed for the 19-year-old on deadline day in the January transfer window. Keen to get the deal done, Klopp persisted and signed Carvalho, who scored ten Championship goals last season, in a move worth up to £7.7million including add-ons.

Speaking in his first official interview since switching west London for Merseyside, Carvalho set the lofty ambitions of becoming the best player in the world and he claimed that in order to achieve his dream, he had to move to Anfield.
