In the summer of 2017, Liverpool were looking for an upgrade at left-back as they prepared to re-enter the Champions League. One of the first names that comes to mind when bargain and transfer are mentioned in the same breath. Andy Robertson - Signed from Hull, summer 2017 Liverpool are quite simply a better team when he's in the side.
Whether as a deep-lying midfielder or as a centre-back, his performance levels never drop. In three-and-a-half seasons for the Reds, Fabinho has played 129 Premier League and Champions League games. Since Fabinho joined Liverpool, he has been nothing short of spectacular. It also saw them beat Manchester United to the punch, with their Premier League rivals reportedly keen on taking him to Old Trafford.
Liverpool got the deal done quickly and it came out of the blue, with local journalists breaking the news only a few hours prior to the club announcing the deal. It helped many fans forget about the heartbreaking final loss, but more importantly it showed Liverpool's intent for the forthcoming season - they weren't messing around. The Brazilian international was signed from Monaco in a deal worth £43milion only three days after Liverpool were defeated in the Champions League final by Real Madrid. Not only was the signing of Fabinho a great bit of business, but the way the deal was negotiated was masterful work from Edwards.
