Fabio Carvalho is officially a Liverpool player. With a compensation package worth up to a potential £7.7m already agreed with Fulham, once the clock struck midnight tonight, and June turned to July, the Portugal Under-21s international became a Red.
After the club ran out of time to conclude a deal for the 19-year-old on January transfer deadline day, Kopites have kept an eye on the forward’s fortunes ahead of his anticipated move. And helping Fulham win promotion to the Premier League as Championship winners, they liked what they saw even if the goals did slightly try up as transfer speculation understandably affected the teenager.
Having previously scored when handed his full Premier League debut away at Southampton in May 2021, starting upfront after the Cottagers’ relegation had been confirmed, he registered an impressive 10 goals and eight assists from 36 appearances as he predominantly played behind the prolific Aleksandar Mitrovic in the number 10 role for Marco Silva’s side last season. And despite Anfield distractions, he started to deliver in front of goal once more when promotion and the title were up for grabs.
