# Liverpool: Reds still hopeful of January move for Fabio Carvalho

**Liverpool could still sign Fulham youngster Fabio Carvalho in January after they bring in Luis Diaz, according to journalist Graeme Bailey.**

### The Lowdown: Carvalho linked with move

The Reds have been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-rumours/liverpool-fans-excited-by-interest-in-fabio-carvalho/) with a move for the 19-year-old in recent days, seemingly seeing him as someone who could come in and provide added squad depth and be a part of an eventual rebuild once the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are past their peaks.

Carvalho is enjoying an excellent season for a free-scoring Fulham side riding high at the [top](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/table) of the Championship, [scoring seven goals and registering three assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/401385/Show/Fabio-Carvalho).

While Liverpool are [reportedly](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/01/liverpool-to-sign-50m-porto-winger-luis-diaz-before-transfer-deadline/) set to be complete the signing of Diaz from Porto imminently, it doesn’t look as though their interest in the English youngster has gone away.

### The Latest: Key update emerges

According to Bailey in a [Twitter](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1486976960177836033?s=20&t=KW7zZkRXP0__f0c6pvz1Fw) post on Friday, a move for Carvalho could still happen before Monday’s transfer deadline, depending on Fulham’s stance:

> “They would also take Fabio Carvalho this month if Fulham agreed to deal.”

Bailey has proved to have his finger on the pulse in recent days, [calling a halt to proceedings](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1486321396653469699) when the media jumped the gun over Newcastle’s move for Bruno Guimarães – [Lyon released a statement](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1556190/Newcastle-transfer-news-Bruno-Guimaraes-Lyon-statement-bid-accepted) backing the journalist’s claims shortly after his tweet.

### The Verdict: Perfect squad addition

Much like Harvey Elliott, who also arrived from Fulham back in 2019, Carvalho is a hugely exciting English teenager who could enjoy a similarly meteoric rise.

The attacking midfielder has been [hailed](https://www.westlondonsport.com/fulham/silva-hails-fantastic-carvalho-after-fulham-see-off-millwall) as ‘fantastic’ by current manager Marco Silva and his average of [1.6 key passes and 1.2 dribbles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/401385/Show/Fabio-Carvalho) per game in the Championship highlight his ability to break the lines and create chances.

No Liverpool midfielder has averaged more key passes in the Premier League this season, with [Elliott and Jordan Henderson (both 1.3)](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/26/Show/England-Liverpool) leading the way, showing what the youngster could add to the team if he follows Diaz to Merseyside this month.
