The 19-year-old looks like he has a big future in the game, and would surely develop well under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp.
Even if Carvalho is a player for the future, he could also have an immediate impact at Anfield, with Klopp in need of more depth up front.
Sadio Mane has been a little more inconsistent in the last year or so and isn’t getting any younger, and former LFC midfielder Michael Thomas recently told CaughtOffside that he felt that area of the pitch is somewhere the club would do well to strengthen in this winter.
“In my opinion another winger that carries a goal threat will help a lot with all the competitions Liverpool find themselves in,” Thomas told us earlier this month.
