Pundit makes claim on Hull City’s chances of re-signing Liverpool ace Fabio Carvalho.
Carlton Palmer spoke to FLW about Hull City’s chances of keeping Fabio Carvalho next season.
It’s been a tough couple of weeks for Liam Rosenior’s Hull City side, and they look set to miss out on the Championship play-offs with four games remaining.
It’s been a campaign that promised so much for the Tigers, but dropping points against Middlesbrough, Leeds United and Stoke City in recent games means that they’re six points off the top six, although they do have a game in hand over Norwich City in 6th.
This means that they’re up against it if they’re to reach the play-offs, and will need their big players to step up in the upcoming games.
One of these big players is Fabio Carvalho, who joined Hull on loan from Liverpool in January. The 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder spent the first half of the season at RB Leipzig, but failed to make a big impact, playing just 15 games.
Having played 21 games for Liverpool last season, it seemed like quite the coup for the Tigers, and Carvalho recently spoke about how his move to Hull has allowed him to rekindle his love for the game.
With this in mind, Hull City will be hoping they can keep him on loan for another season, but it remains to be seen what Liverpool’s plans are.
Carlton Palmer on Hull City’s chances of keeping Fabio Carvalho.
Former England international midfielder and current EFL pundit Carlton Palmer believes that a Fabio Carvalho return to Liverpool is dependent on whether he’s part of the Reds’ new manager’s plans.
Palmer told FLW, “Fabio Carvalho has said that he’s fallen in love with football again at Hull City. The Liverpool midfield maestro has had an exciting time and has impressed during his time at Hull.
“Hull have gone well this season, but unfortunately, they’ve tailed off a bit in recent weeks and are now six points off the play-off places.
“The player himself has said he’ll return to Liverpool at the end of the season and will want to see if he can improve his chances of getting in the first-team with Jürgen Klopp moving on, as we all know.”
