Reports have surfaced this week suggesting that Liverpool have finally sealed a deal for exciting young Fulham attacker Fabio Carvalho. The same shouldn’t come as a huge surprise given that the Reds had tracked Carvalho for some time and nearly got a deal over the line for him on deadline day in January.
Paperwork issues meant that the deal fell through. However since then, he’s continued to impress playing for Marco Silva’s Fulham side, meaning it felt inevitable that he would at some stage make the proposed switch to Anfield. That now looks like it will happen in the summer, and many Liverpool fans are excited to see what the 19-year-old can bring to the club.
So far at Craven Cottage, Carvalho has usually played as a number ten within Silva’s favoured 4-2-3-1 formation. He’s thrived in the same thanks to his ability to find gaps in between the lines where he can receive passes on the half-turn and then look to drive at a defence or thread passes into the feet of forwards ahead.
