# Silva uses Liverpool’s Fabinho as example for Kean

Fabinho was eased into life at Liverpool by manager Jurgen Klopp and that decision is proving to be incredibly successful.

The Brazilian midfielder was signed by Liverpool for a reported fee of £43.7m in the summer of 2018, but he had to wait to become an established starter under Klopp.

Everton boss Marco Silva feels the same treatment could provide similar results for Moise Kean, who is struggling for form at the Toffees.

Everton looking to Liverpool for guidance and inspiration – how poetic!

Many fans were concerned initially by Fabinho’s lack of involvement but now, he’s one of Klopp’s first names on the teamsheet.

Everton fans are worrying about Kean, but he needs patience and time to settle. We’re not saying he’ll turn out to be as big an asset as Fabinho, but it’ll do him a lot of good.
