After finally signing for Liverpool, Planet Sport looks at why Jurgen Klopp was so keen to sign Fulham youngster Carvalho, who is being compared to former Kop star Philippe Coutinho.
Liverpool have had some season, but they are already starting to look at the next campaign off the field after agreeing a deal with Fulham to sign talented teenager Fabio Carvalho.
Carvalho was targeted in the January transfer window, and although the deal collapsed in the waning hours of deadline day, the move was finally completed just after the end of the season.
With Carvalho's contract up this summer, Liverpool will pay Fulham an initial £5million, plus a possible extra £2.7m in add-ons for Carvalho to join Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
So, what's all the fuss about? Planet Sport looks at why Liverpool are desperate to acquire the 19-year-old.
