Fabinho new contract

After penning the new contract, Fabinho mentioned his desires and what he wants to achieve with Liverpool in the next five years. Talking to the official site, he said:

I'm delighted to have signed a new contract with the club. Since the beginning of the conversation, I was really positive about it because it's what I wanted – staying in this club, keep playing for Liverpool. Now this is official and I'm really happy. These last three seasons I've been really happy here. I learned a lot with the manager, with all the staff, with the boys as well. We achieved things together and for me I think it's the best place to be, the best place to keep growing, to keep learning from the staff, from the boys. Hopefully we will keep achieving good things.

The 27-year-old Brazilian international joined Liverpool from the French outfit, AS Monaco in a deal worth €45 million. Ever since his arrival at Anfield, he has modeled himself as one of the pivotal players of Jurgen Klopp. In his first season at Anfield, he featured in 28 games in the English top-flight. In the second season, he won the title with Liverpool with 22 starts under his belt. In that season, he had 5 G/A to his name.

In the contrasting season compared to his previous two terms, he was the makeshift defender in the absence of Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip. He played the highest number of games in the heart of the defense for Liverpool in the last season. With both prominent central defenders returning to the team, Fabinho will look to strike the terror in the opposition with his crucial passes.
