The Reds have added a new forward to their ranks ahead of the next season.

Jurgen Klopp has urged Liverpool fans to be patient with newly-signed forward Fabio Carvalho.

Liverpool paid £8 million to bring the Portuguese forward to Anfield. The former Fulham star will join an already star-studded attacking line, hoping to find game time alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz.

Klopp believes Carvalho will be able to continue his development at Liverpool but warns fans against expecting too much from the teenager.

“It’s great to finally be able to welcome Fabio and to introduce him properly to our supporters,” he told Liverpool’s official website.

“What a talent he is, hey? A player who can bring a stadium to its feet. He puts his personality into his performances, he is confident and adventurous with the ball, and he wants to make things happen.

“He is a versatile player for sure and is very much an attacking threat with his creativity and dynamism.

“It was a wonderful season for Fulham last year and Fabio was a worthy winner of the individual recognition he got as a result of that.

“It doesn’t really need saying, but it is worth reminding everyone that he will of course need patience. It’s a step up, but one we know he is more than capable of making, which is why we were so keen for so long to sign him for Liverpool.

“He has the perfect environment here to learn and develop. He has a dressing room full of the best teachers in football who will help him settle and adapt.

“With us, a player of Fabio’s profile will get opportunity along with space to improve, learn and develop further. I’m looking forward to working with him and seeing him in a red jersey.”
