Flocking to Twitter, many Liverpool fans have erupted as the club confirmed they have tied down midfield star Fabinho with a bumper new long-term contract (liverpoolfc.com).

The Brazilian, nicknamed the team's 'lighthouse' by assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders, had been the subject of rumours linking him with an extension at Anfield.

Fabinho was one of many first team players touted with a new deal, coming after the club also recently confirmed a fresh contract for Trent Alexander-Arnold. The 27-year-old now becomes Liverpool's latest player to commit his future on Merseyside and reports suggest that the Reds aren't done there.

Flocking to this announcement, it's safe to say that plenty of supporters are buzzing, with many erupting over this news in response to Liverpool's official Twitter channel.

Fabinho was forced to play in a makeshift central defensive role throughout 2020/21 to cope with Liverpool's mounting injury issues but immediately dazzled again upon returning to midfield (The Daily Mail).

It is little wonder that news of Liverpool securing a new deal for the enforcer had some fans hailing it as "more great news" following on from Alexander-Arnold's renewed commitment. Check out some of the best verdicts from social media below.
