Greg Cruttwell, the founder and director of Fabio Carvalho's youth club Balham FC, has backed the 19-year-old to succeed at Liverpool and says he suits manager Jurgen Klopp 'down to the bone'.
Carvalho will formally become a Liverpool player on July 1 and joins on a five-year deal that will see the Reds pay Fulham £5m plus add-ons. The Portuguese international had previously been part of the youth set-up at Benfica before his family made the move to England in 2013.
Instead of returning to academy football, Carvalho joined a local London-based side Balham FC, then called Balham Blazers. Just two years later, he started to attract interest from clubs in England and across Europe.
