Liverpool fans have praised their Brazilian midfielder Fabinho after a dramatic surge in his market value, with some fans branding him as the best defensive midfielder in the world.
The 26-year-old joined the club in 2018 for £43.7m and has become an essential asset of Jurgen Klopp’s side during that time.
Despite taking time to settle in, Fabinho has asserted himself and has received waves of compliments from pundits and teammates, with captain Jordan Henderson describing him as “perfect“.
Since his arrival from the French Riviera, he has scored just two goals and provided four assists in 58 games, winning the UEFA Champions League in his first season.

His market value shows that he was valued at just £1m when he was a Real Madrid youngster. Today, his figure is now 57 times the amount that was advised seven years before.
Supporters were delighted to see the highlighted progression of Fabinho and made their feelings clear on social media. One fan described him as the “best defensive midfielder in the world”, while another said that he was a “bargain” and that he has been “pure class” since he joined.
