Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told the club’s official website that Fabio Carvalho will be a really important player for his team.

Klopp has said that Carvalho, who can operate as a winger or an attacking midfielder, is a massive talent and will be a big player for Liverpool.

The 19-year-old Portugal Under-21 international joined Liverpool in the summer transfer window after leaving Fulham.

Klopp told Liverpool’s official website about Carvalho: “Top player. I love it. Massive talent.

“Really good kid and really happy to have him, so very important for us because we count on this age group as well. We don’t wait now until they are 22, 23 or whatever and use them.

“No, no, no. He is ready like Harvey is ready in the similar age group. That’s really cool.

“We all need luck in life as well with injury and stuff like this, but without that he will be a really important player for us.”

One for the future

Fabio Carvalho is one of the best young players around, and, in our opinion, he would be brilliant for Liverpool in the long run.

The Portuguese youngster is only 19, and he can certainly get better and improve in the coming years.

It may take a while for Carvalho to get to grips with how Liverpool player under Klopp, but he has time on his hands.

Carvalho made 33 starts and three substitute appearances in the Championship for Fulham last season.

The Portuguese youngster scored 10 goals and gave eight assists in those games.

Carvalho will get chances to play for the Liverpool first team this season, as the Reds will have UEFA Champions League and domestic cup matches.
