Liverpool have been linked to another young centre-back, Fabio Carvalho is on the cusp of playing in the Championship, and Mo Salah‘s agent has shot down exit claims. All in Monday’s news round-up.
Carvalho to Hull “almost done”
Liverpool nor the 21-year-old have wasted time finding the next club that can hopefully foster his development, with the Championship’s Hull City ready to do just that.
This Is Anfield‘s David Lynch reported earlier on Monday that the Tigers were the “front-runners,” before Hull City owner Acun Ilicali declared on Sky Sports that the loan is “almost done” and they “are very happy.”
“It’s almost done and we are very happy” ?

The announcement was all Ilicali said was left to sort, meaning it is only a matter of time before Carvalho joins Tyler Morton in Yorkshire for the remainder of the season.
With game time the primary focus for Carvalho after primarily sitting on the bench for Leipzig, the Reds can take confidence from how Morton has thrived under coach Liam Rosenior.
