Jurgen Klopp's expected capture of Fabio Carvalho proves Mikel Arteta's Liverpool theory

Liverpool are on the verge of signing Fulham youngster Fabio Carvalho - and the deal proves Mikel Arteta 's theory about Jurgen Klopp 's side.

The Reds made a late move for Carvalho in the January transfer window after an £8.4million deal was agreed to bring the 19-year-old to Anfield , but time ran out and the move was scrapped. However, it appears to have only been a temporary failure, as Liverpool have finalised a deal worth £5m plus add-ons that will see him move in the summer.

With Carvalho's contract up at the end of the season, the England U21 star was free to move away from Fulham, and after Liverpool failed with their pursuit in January, the star had a lot of time to consider his next club. But the fact that he will still be joining Liverpool is a major statement, and proves Arteta's theory right.
