Premier League: 10 hyped summer signings who are having a great season

#4 Fabinho

Fabinho is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder who plays for Liverpool in the Premier League. He has also featured for Brazil seven times since his debut back in June 2015.

Fabinho was a rising star in European football just months after Monaco signed him for £5.4m. I think many people were surprised at how quickly he developed as a player and how comfortable he was on the ball, despite his tender age.

His performances eventually earned him a move to Anfield for around £40m. Many Monaco fans were irate with the club for having allowed one of their best players to leave so easily, but it's a well-known secret now that Monaco have become a selling club, only interested in profits.

Fabinho has been crucial in the Liverpool midfield this season, and his ability to read the game has helped the side out considerably. He's featured in 23 matches for Liverpool, scoring a single goal and assisting two.

The Reds will do well to keep hold of him this summer, though, as he's quickly turning into one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.
