Fabio Carvalho shows exactly why Liverpool signed him in Craven Cottage swansong

Fabio Carvalho put on a show for Fulham fans at Craven Cottage on Monday night as he scored and assisted during his side’s 7-0 rout of Luton Town. The victory clinched the Championship title for the London side who’ll return straight back to the Premier League following their relegation last season.

It’s likely that Carvalho won’t be going with them, though he is expected to still be plying his trade in the Premier League next season with Anfield his next destination. The 19-year-old emerged as a surprise late transfer target at the end of the January transfer window, but a potential deal fell through after the 11pm deadline passed.

Liverpool continued negotiations behind the scenes and struck a deal with the attacker, whose contract with Fulham expires at the end of this campaign. He’s now set to join up with Jurgen Klopp’s squad before pre-season.
