# Virals: Liverpool in ‘pole position’ to sign Fulham starlet Fabio Carvalho

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/28/virals-liverpool-to-consider-offers-for-divock-origi-and-takumi-minamino/) are reportedly in ‘pole position’ to sign highly-rated Fulham starlet [Fabio Carvalho](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/21/virals-liverpool-keeping-a-close-eye-on-fulham-starlet-fabio-carvalho/).

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder has [caught the eye in the Championship](https://www.sofascore.com/player/fabio-carvalho/991604) this term and the Reds are attentive to the situation.

Premier League suitors such as West Ham, Leeds, Arsenal, Tottenham and Southampton have also been cited whilst there is also [interest](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-target-fabio-carvalho-promised-26014516) from Europe.

According to a report from [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/liverpool-eye-january-deal-for-fabio-carvalho), as cited by [Graeme Bailey](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey) on Twitter, Liverpool could make a move happen before the January window closes.

> Liverpool are in pole position to land Fulham Fabio Carvalho and are considering a bid this month.
>
> The Championship promotion favourites will likely resist a January deal, but they can't stop the player leaving in the summer.

The report claims that Liverpool are ‘set to win the race’ for the [six-cap England Under 18 star](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabio-carvalho/nationalmannschaft/spieler/559263/verein_id/31269) and could ‘eye’ a move before Monday’s deadline.

Described as [‘fantastic’](https://www.westlondonsport.com/fulham/silva-hails-fantastic-carvalho-after-fulham-see-off-millwall) by Marco Silva, Carvalho has [scored seven times and registered three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabio-carvalho/leistungsdaten/spieler/559263) in 17 appearances across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £3.15million and out of contract at Craven Cottage at the end of the season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabio-carvalho/marktwertverlauf/spieler/559263)), it would likely be a wholly affordable fee to bring the exciting youngster to Anfield this month.

An [archetypal number 10](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/401385/Show/Fabio-Carvalho) in the mould of ex-Liverpool favourite Philippe Coutinho, the Portugal-born wonderkid could provide Jurgen Klopp with yet another promising attacking weapon.

Whether it be now or in the summer, Carvalho is a player that the Reds should be all over.
