English side, Liverpool Football Club, have announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder, Fabinho. Fabinho has joined the Reds from French side, AS Monaco, for an undisclosed fee, two days after the club lost in the final of the 2017/2018 UEFA Champions League.
The Reds confirmed they had reached an agreement with their counterparts form Ligue 1, for the transfer of the 24-year-old.
“Liverpool Football Club can confirm a deal has been agreed for the transfer of Fabinho from AS Monaco,” the club said in a statement on their official website.
