In an exclusive interview with the official Liverpool website, Jurgen Klopp expressed his delight at the Reds securing a deal to sign Fabinho from Monaco.
Here’s what the boss had to say about the Brazilian international’s arrival at Anfield:
We have signed a fantastic player, but someone who is an equally fantastic person I think.
His reputation as a character in the dressing room and his attitude in training has come through from everyone we speak to.
He has a lovely family also – adding a person like this to our dressing room only makes us even stronger. What we have – in terms of our environment at Melwood and in the team – means anyone coming in must be of that build. They must be the highest quality person and player.
He has ability and mentality to play at the highest level in a number of positions. He can play ‘6’, ‘8’ and ‘2’. This is cool.
He is tactically very strong and football smart. I think he improves our squad and there aren’t that many players you can say that about in this moment, because the quality we have already is so high.
I like that he is young yet experienced also, with a high number of games at a club that compete to win. Also, international caps for Brazil tells you something about him.
This signing gives us new opportunities and for that I am excited. I’m sure our supporters will make him very welcome and at home at our wonderful club and in our amazing city.
Fabinho will officially become a Liverpool player on July 1st, as will Naby Keita, who the Reds agreed to sign last summer.
