Fabinho has given his thoughts on Liverpool's recent signings of midfielders Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai: "We lost, I think, three midfield players that were really important for us in the last maybe five, six years. It’s good to bring some good players in that position because we will need [them]. In the way we play, the intensity we play, we always need not just three or four but maybe six players in this position [in the squad]. So yes, it’s good to have these two players with us now. We played against them already, so we know how good they are. It’s good to have them in the team." (Liverpool official website)
Liverpool target Benjamin Pavard is looking increasingly likely to stay at Bayern Munich despite entering the final year of his contract. Although there is interest, no club has actively approached Bayern regarding the defender thus far. (Kicker)
