Brentford Football Club has officially completed the signing of forward Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool on a five-year contract. The deal, reportedly worth up to £27.5 million ($35 million), sees the promising young attacker join the Bees as they look to continue their impressive rise in the Premier League.
Brentford head coach Thomas Frank expressed his excitement about the acquisition, highlighting Carvalho’s versatility and attacking prowess. “Fabio is a player with a lot of qualities,” Frank said on the club’s website. “He can play in all of the front three or four positions in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1. His best position is probably as a No. 10 or coming in from the left. Offensively, he has great abilities on the ball: he can go past players, slide a pass, create chances and get on the end of chances. He’s a type of player that we don’t have many of in the squad so he will add that something extra for us.”
Carvalho’s recent loan spells have proven his worth, with the 20-year-old impressing at both RB Leipzig and Hull City. At Hull, he particularly excelled, scoring nine goals in 20 appearances.
In other transfer news, AC Milan has secured the signing of defender Emerson Royal from Tottenham Hotspur. The 25-year-old Brazilian international, known for his attacking runs and defensive solidity, joins the Serie A giants on a four-year contract with an option for an additional 12 months. Emerson, who joined Tottenham from Barcelona in 2021, made 101 appearances for the North London club, scoring four goals in the process.
These moves highlight the ongoing transfer activity within the footballing world, as clubs strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.
