Jurgen Klopp is delighted over the arrival of the promising talent Fabio Carvalho who officially completed his move to the Reds on Sunday.
The 19-year-old’s recruitment is tipped to be an excellent piece of transfer business for Liverpool in this summer’s window with Carvalho emerging as a standout performer in the Championship last season.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Klopp said he was confident that his new signing in the Portuguese forward Carvalho will prove to be an exciting addition to the Anfield ranks and that the player’s development will continue at pace.
“It’s great to finally be able to welcome Fabio and to introduce him properly to our supporters.
“What a talent he is, hey? A player who can bring a stadium to its feet. He puts his personality into his performances, he is confident and adventurous with the ball, and he wants to make things happen.
“He is a versatile player for sure and is very much an attacking threat with his creativity and dynamism.
“It was a wonderful season for Fulham last year and Fabio was a worthy winner of the individual recognition he got as a result of that.
“It doesn’t really need saying, but it is worth reminding everyone that he will of course need patience. It’s a step up, but one we know he is more than capable of making, which is why we were so keen for so long to sign him for Liverpool.
“He has the perfect environment here to learn and develop. He has a dressing room full of the best teachers in football who will help him settle and adapt.
“With us, a player of Fabio’s profile will get opportunity along with space to improve, learn and develop further. I’m looking forward to working with him and seeing him in a red jersey.”
Carvalho scored eight times in 36 league outings for Fulham across the 2021-22 campaign besides providing eight assists and his stellar run of showings were key to Liverpool launching a bid to move in for his signature in the summer.
The teenage talent is one of Liverpool’s three new signings of the transfer window with Jurgen Klopp’s Reds also bringing in 34-goal dangerman Darwin Nunez and Scottish full-back Calvin Ramsay.
