Liverpool have completed a deal with Fulham to bring Fabio Carvalho to the club, according to reports.

The 19-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer, is expected to sign before the 11pm transfer deadline and then be loaned back to the Championship leaders for the rest of the season.

The Reds initially offered a fee in the region of £5million for the England under-18 international – who has seven goals in 19 appearances this term.

Fulham, who are seeking a return to the Premier League, were holding out for closer to double that.

According to Paul Joyce of The Times, a deal has now been agreed yet there is a ‘race’ to get a medical sorted and personal terms agreed.

Marco Silva said he did not want to lose his talented midfielder last week, yet it seems likely Carvalho will continue to ply his trade at Craven Cottage on loan before returning to Anfield in the summer.

It is clear to see why the Cottagers want to keep their starlet as he has four assists already this season and has dazzled in the Championship with his dribbling and direct style of play.

Carvalho has been at Fulham since he was 14 and follows in the footsteps of Harvey Elliott, who moved to Liverpool from west London in 2019.
