Liverpool 'are confident' they have won the race for Fulham wonderkid Fabio Carvalho in summer after their move for the 19-year-old fell through on deadline day in January

Liverpool are confident they have won the race to sign Fulham wonderkid Fabio Carvalho, according to reports.

The Reds tried to sign the 19-year-old during the January transfer window and had agreed a deal with the Championship side, with Neco Williams moving in the opposite direction on a temporary basis until the end of the season.

However, while Williams did get his move to Fulham, Carvalho's transfer to Liverpool ended up falling through at the last minute.

A fee of £8million had been agreed between the two clubs, but the necessary paperwork was not completed in time, meaning that the youngster remained at Craven Cottage until the end of the season.
