Blackburn Rovers v Liverpool - Pre-Season Friendly — Fabinho in action for his new club

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has always opposed the idea of spending heavily in the transfer market. But his activities during the current window suggest that the German has finally gotten rid of that policy.

After finishing fourth on the Premier League table last term, Klopp is looking to challenge Manchester City for the ultimate crown next season. This has led the manager to strengthen his squad with the addition of world-class players in major areas of the pitch. One of these incredible superstars is Brazilian midfielder Fabinho.

Following a brilliant campaign with Monaco in which he scored 8 goals in 36 appearances for the French outfit last term, the midfielder has taken a new step in his career, securing a big-money transfer worth 43.7 million to join Liverpool.

He comes as one of the major additions at Anfield, with The Reds having also signed the likes of Naby Keita, Xherdan Shaqiri, and Alisson Becker during the summer.
