Fabio Carvalho revealed he was itching to sign for Liverpool upon learning he had caught their eye.

The 19-year-old has now officially completed his move to the Reds from Fulham, having been unable to make the switch at the end of the January transfer window as a medical and formal paperwork could not be concluded.
