The 24-year-old was one of the best players in Europe last season. Naturally a right back, Leonardo Jardim converted him into a defensive midfielder and reaped a lot of success in Ligue 1 and Europe last season. He helped Monaco to end PSG's domestic domination and took them to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2016/17.

With 10 goals and 4 assists, he played a key role for Monaco in their successful 2016/17 campaign. The 23-year-old Brazilian has the pace, power, and anticipation to defend well at the back, as well as the vision and technique to contribute to his teams attacking play.

Fabinho has the physical and technical attributes to fit into Mourinho's side. He can play in the middle of the park or as a right back and averaged 3.3 tackles per game for Monaco last season. He could be a long-term successor to Antonio Valencia and has the ability to succeed in the Premier League.
