A little over four hours was left in the January transfer window and Fulham starlet Fabio Carvalho was on route to attend a last-minute medical in London.
The 19-year-old attacking-midfielder, who joined Fulham in 2014 as a child, was wanted by Liverpool and the Anfield club was determined to get hold of his signature before the clock struck 11pm on January 31.
Despite their best efforts, a hold up with the paperwork meant that the Premier League title hopefuls failed to raid Craven Cottage for a potential superstar, following the signing of Harvey Elliott, for the second time in two-and-a-half years.
