Liverpool have signed midfielder Fabinho from Monaco for a fee of up to €50million (£43.7millon).

The 24-year-old Brazilian will likely replace Emre Can, who is expected to leave with his contract expiring, and play the number six role as midfield anchor in Jurgen Klopp’s team.

After the deal was announced, Fabinho said: “I am really excited about this move.

“This is something that I always wanted – this is a giant of a team. The infrastructures of the club look exceptional.

“A football club of this size coming after my services, I didn’t have to think that much about coming over.

“I will try to create my own history at this football club. Hopefully, on a personal level, I’m able to win titles with this club.

“I will try to grow and learn and improve myself, and to be part of the club’s history.”
