Liverpool ‘worried’ about missing out on Fabio Carvalho after Sky update – pundit
Liverpool will be “worried” after missing out on signing Fulham’s Fabio Carvalho on deadline day, according to Kevin Campbell.
The former Arsenal and Everton striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed “a lot of clubs will be interested” in signing the 19-year-old in the summer.
Carvalho has entered the final six months of his contract at Craven Cottage and is highly unlikely to extend his agreement.
The Reds failed in an attempt to sign the teenage winger last month as they tried to steal a march on their rivals.
However, according to Sky Sports `(1 February), Jurgen Klopp’s side are confident of completing a deal for the attacking midfielder.
When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of Liverpool’s failed Carvalho move, Campbell said:
“I think that’s the worry for Liverpool now, a lot of clubs will be interested in the summer. They wanted to do the business before anyone else could get mitts on him.
“They put an offer in to him and his agent but it just was not meant to be. Liverpool will be slightly frustrated. They have found it a difficult task signing him so far.
“It was never going to be easy given Carvalho’s contract situation. He’s a brilliant player and there’ll be plenty of clubs coveting him.
“Liverpool will be happy though, they got one in and a very good one at that. I think [Luis] Diaz will do well.”
