As Jurgen Klopp and his players aim to finish a remarkable season with a whopping four trophies to their name, the Liverpool recruitment team are keen to make a strong start to the summer transfer window.
The Reds are on the verge of signing Fulham sensation Fabio Carvalho when his contract at Craven Cottage expires in June. Only once the window opens will the deal officially be completed, with a £7million fee expected to be handed over in order to avoid a tribunal between the two clubs like in the case of Harvey Elliott three years ago.
But while Liverpool wait to wrap up his acquisition, incoming sporting director Julian Ward - tasked with replacing the acclaimed Michael Edwards - can draw up plans for Carvalho's immediate future on Merseyside. With Klopp already boasting a gluttony of attacking options, the 19-year-old has been tipped for a loan move after helping the Cottagers dominate the Championship and emphatically earn promotion back to the Premier League.
