Liverpool's new Brazilian signing Fabinho has spoken exclusively to this month's FourFourTwo magazine and revealed where Jurgen Klopp intends to play him, why new team-mate Mo Salah deserves to win the Ballon d'Or and how he was given tips on the city and the club by a future Anfield team-mate!

Fabinho is an international team-mate of Roberto Firmino and he revealed: "Firstly he (Roberto) sent me some messages saying that Jurgen Klopp had been following me for some time and liked my style of play.

"Then, when we were close to finalising the deal, he started giving me some tips about life in the city. He told me Liverpool was a fantastic place, just a little cold every now and again!"

Fabinho was buzzing to sign for the Reds from Monaco and explained that Jurgen Klopp had told him where he should expect to play in the new Liverpool line up.

"I've been following the club closely in the last few years and they've improved greatly under Jurgen Klopp.

"He's said I might play in a few different positions but the plan is to use me in midfield and I'm available to play wherever he needs me. He left the best possible impression.

"He told me the calendar is demanding in England and that he needs players like me. It was a huge honour to hear such a compliment and that's what I wanted for my career - a move to a big club that knew they could count on me.

"That day was party day! We were both smiling at everything. I was really anxious during all of the negotiations, so when it was time for me to sign the contract I couldn't have been happier - a dream come true. When I was doing the medical exams I couldn't I couldn't stop asking people 'When does it finally become official?' You don't sign for one of the biggest clubs in the world every day you know!

"A club with Liverpool's history wants you? Come on, you just pack your bags and go! It will be an honour to wear the famous red shirt. For a club like Liverpool, a good season means trophies. Perhaps we can win the Champions League; we were so close to winning it last season. I'm optimistic about the future and I'm looking forward to winning a lot of titles with Liverpool."

Fabinho also believes that the speed with which Mo Salah adapted to life with Liverpool is heartening for his own move.

"It was a pleasure watching him (Salah) and he's improving year on year," added Fabinho. "He's entitled to dream of winning the next Ballon d'Or based on his numbers and achievements next season.

"It's great to see how quickly he adapted to Liverpool which is obviously encouraging for me."
