Liverpool Announce The Signing Of Fabinho On Five-Year Deal

It's official. Liverpool have confirmed that a deal has been agreed for the transfer of Fabinho from AS Monaco.

He will join the midfield ranks alongside another signing, Naby Keita, as Klopp looks to strengthen his side ahead of next season.

Fabinho told Liverpool's official website the following after his arrival:

"I am really excited about this move. This is something that I always wanted - this is a giant of a team. The infrastructures of the club look exceptional." he said.

"A football club of this size coming after my services, I didn't have to think that much about coming over.

"I will try to create my own history at this football club. Hopefully, on a personal level, I'm able to win titles with this club.

"I will try to grow and learn and improve myself, and to be part of the club's history." Fabinho continued.

Fabinho was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in previous transfer windows.

But the Brazilian is the ideal replacement for Emre Can, who is reportedly set to leave in the coming weeks.

The midfielder was not included in Brazil's World Cup squad, but has impressed during his time in Ligue 1 with Monaco this season.

Could Nabil Fekir be the next player to arrive at Anfield? Will they challenge for the Premier League title in 2018/19?
