Liverpool target Fabio Carvalho given Portugal call-up as England set to lose Fulham star

The 19-year-old, who came through the Cottagers' academy, has represented England at under-16, under-17 and under-18 level after his family moved from Lisbon to London. However, after passport issues brought into question his ability to earn an England under-21 call-up, the country of his birth has swooped in.

Carvalho has scored eight goals this season under Marco Silva, helping Fulham edge ever closer to promotion back to the Premier League. His performances have earned comparisons with Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes, and the youngster could yet end up playing senior international football alongside the former Sporting CP man.
