Liverpool transfer news: Reds could 'push forward' for 7-goal gem whose 'head has turned'

Transfer insider Dean Jones has claimed that Liverpool could look to sign Fulham teenager Fabio Carvalho before Monday's deadline.

The 19-year-old has been one of Fulham's star performers in the Championship this term, and he could be set for a move to Anfield in the coming days.

It had looked like being a quiet transfer window for Liverpool heading into the final few days of January.

However, that has now changed as the club are reportedly closing in on signing Porto attacker Luis Diaz as they bid to beat off competition from Tottenham for his signature.

The Reds have also been heavily linked with Carvalho, who has scored seven goals in the second tier in 2021/22.

Carvalho is out of contract at Craven Cottage in the summer, so he would be available on a free transfer then.

Jones has been informed that Liverpool are interested in getting a deal done this month, though, and has suggested that Carvalho would be keen to move to the Premier League club sooner rather than later.

He told GIVEMESPORT: "I’m starting to hear whispers that Liverpool might push forward their interest in Fabio Carvalho to this window. Their interest has definitely turned his head."

If Carvalho did arrive on Merseyside in January, it would be hard to see him going straight into the starting XI given the attacking talent that Jurgen Klopp has at his disposal, particularly if Liverpool sign Diaz as well.
