Liverpool fans suggest Jordan Henderson should be sold.
Liverpool fans on Twitter reckon that Fabinho’s arrival could and should offset the departure of Jordan Henderson this summer.
Liverpool wrapped up a £43.7 million deal for the former Monaco midfielder on Monday, according to The Telegraph.
With Naby Keita also due to arrive in July, the competition for midfield places will be fierce within Jurgen Klopp’s side next season.
Reds captain Henderson is a divisive figure among fans of the Anfield club.
And some are hopeful that Fabinho’s signing will now allow Klopp to sell the former Sunderland star.
Of course, Fabinho’s arrival doesn’t necessarily mean that Henderson will go, but Klopp may deploy the 27-year-old in a slightly different role instead.
Gini Wijnaldum is inconsistent and Emre Can is unlikely to be a Liverpool player come August, so there is options for the German manager, but the addition of Keita means that Henderson could certainly struggle to play as regularly as he has been.
