Darren Bent has said on talkSPORT that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp should get rid of Fabinho in the summer transfer window.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker believes that Brazil international defensive midfielder Fabinho does not have the legs anymore.
The talkSPORT pundit has noted that the £180,000-a-week (SalarySport) midfielder has been good for Liverpool over the years, but he believes that the Brazilian is now past his prime.

Bent said: “Fabinho has been so good for so long. He now looks like he hasn’t got the legs.”
HITC Verdict: Liverpool should persevere with Fabinho
In our view, Liverpool should not be hasty in offloading Fabinho in the summer transfer window.
Yes, the 29-year-old is not having a good season, but one bad year does not mean that a player is finished.
Remember, Liverpool were in the running for four major trophies last season.
No one was saying then that Fabinho should be sold.
True, like all big clubs, Liverpool have to look for a long-term successor to their ageing players, but we believe that Fabinho still has a role to play for the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
Fabinho has made 19 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League, and has made six starts and one substitute appearance in the UEFA Champions League for Liverpool so far this season.
