Rice hails Fabinho as the best in the world in his position – he is absolutely right

Fabinho is proving to be an unbelievable signing at Liverpool, with none better in the world in his role currently.

The Brazilian took a little time to adapt to life in England, but he has now found an incredible level.

Speaking to Spencer TV, West Ham midfielder Declan Rice claims Fabinho is the best on the planet at what he does:

I’d have to say Fabinho.

Champions League winner, adapted to the Premier League really quickly, strong, powerful, sees a pass and reads the game well.

Read Liverpool Verdict

Rice is spot on in his assessment of Fabinho, with the 25-year-old so integral to everything the Reds do.

Without him, the midfield would look far less dominant – he brings so much physicality, calm and quality to proceedings.

N’Golo Kante could have been contender in the past, but his role has been tweaked a little at Chelsea, with more attacking freedom given to him.

Sergio Busquets isn’t quite the player he was and there genuinely aren’t many others who feel on the same level as Fabinho currently.

Liverpool have lacked a world-class holding midfielder since Javier Mascherano, but in Fabinho, they have someone who could end up becoming a Reds legend.
