More news……

The replacement for Fabinho may already be found, according to Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool.

Before the start of the new Premier League season, Jurgen Klopp will need to fill the void left by Fabinho’s departure.

Fabinho’s replacement at Liverpool, Curtis Jones, has been mentioned by Jurgen Klopp, who was impressed with the 22-year-old at the end of the previous campaign. Fabinho, a Brazilian midfielder who spent five years with the Reds on Merseyside, announced on Monday that he would be leaving the team after a reported £40 million move to Al-Ittihad.

Jordan Henderson was sold to Al-Ettifaq a few days prior to Fabinho’s departure, leaving Liverpool worryingly short of options in the middle of the park less than a fortnight before the start of the new season. The six-time European champions will undoubtedly try to add some new players before the summer transfer window closes, but Klopp has suggested that Jones might be a surprise choice to fill the void.

The Liverpool manager stated during a press conference in Singapore that Jones is undoubtedly one of the options in the current setup and the composition of the squad. “I think it’s no secret that we are still looking for players to join us; however, using what you already have is equally important, and I think Curtis can play that position with no problem.

“Can he play it when no one else in the team is defending? No, there’s no chance, but then again, I don’t know any player who can do that. But if you truly comprehend the current state of affairs, a proven 6 is not currently available. Do we offer an explanation for this?

“A lot of things can happen during the season; this has always been true. We approach it as a challenge and work to find a solution that is nonetheless compact. With the ball in his hands, Curtis can without a doubt make a significant impact. His growth over the past few months since he’s been here, in my opinion, has been truly amazing.

“Held back by some injuries sustained at the wrong time and for too long. It’s not anyone’s fault; it just happens to young players. The steps he took prior to that were excellent. It makes sense for him to be on the field. If no one else is there, he can definitely play that position. “.

Jones played in the Premier League only 18 times last season, but the latter part of the year was arguably when he was at his best while playing for Liverpool. When Jones was given responsibility by Klopp for running the show in the backroom, he frequently excelled in the middle of the park and the Reds went on to win all 11 of their final games.

It’s unclear whether he will be able to continue where he left off when the new season starts, but Klopp’s high praise suggests that he will at least be given the chance to prove himself in Fabinho’s absence. Romeo Lavia of Southampton is rumored to be one of the players Liverpool is considering signing, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them search the market for another midfielder.

It has always been the case that a lot can happen during the season. We consider it a challenge and work to be as compact as possible despite that. Without a doubt, Curtis can make a significant impact from that position when in possession. His growth over the past few months since he’s been with us, in my opinion, has been truly amazing.

“Held back by some accidents that happened at the wrong time and for too long. Nobody is at fault; it simply occurs with young players. He had taken some really good steps prior to that. It makes sense to have him on the field. If no one else is available, he can definitely play that position. “.
