Fabio Carvalho in line for 'integral' Liverpool role after teammate's 'massive' reveal - pundit
Fabio Carvalho will be "an integral part" of the Liverpool squad next season.
That is the view of former Spurs and England number one Paul Robinson, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the 19-year-old's prospects at Anfield this year.
Carvalho officially completed a move from Fulham to Liverpool on 1 July.
The attacking midfielder has been getting to know his new teammates this week as Liverpool's pre-season kicked off.
Speaking to club media (6 July), defender Rhys Williams heaped praise on the "brilliant" Carvalho after what he's seen in training.
Williams predicted the teenager will have "a massive impact" on Jurgen Klopp's side.
When asked by Football Insider for his thoughts on Carvalho, Robinson said: "He is still very young.
"Klopp has showed that he is not afraid to put these youngsters in so I would expect him to get given a chance next season.
"I am a big fan of utilising the loan system because it gives players a great grounding but I don't think that is what is needed for Carvalho.
"He has had a full season in the Championship. He did excellently well. I think that season will have turned him from a boy into a man. It will have matured him.
"I think he will be an integral part of the squad this season.
"He is so good going forward. He has such ability on the ball.
"I think Klopp will use him. He will be a great addition to that Liverpool side."
