Liverpool have some top attacking talent in their ranks, and according to the Daily Mail, there could be one more potentially heading to Anfield.

The outlet claims that Jorge Mendes is trying to push Fulham starlet Fabio Carvalho in the direction of Liverpool.

The 19-year-old is in the final year of his contract at Craven Cottage and recently rejected a new deal at his current club.

According to the Daily Mail, Mendes has spoken to a number of top European clubs over Carvalho, but believes Liverpool are more interested in him.

This is because the Reds struck gold with another Fulham graduate in Harvey Elliott, who has been a huge success so far at Anfield.

The same outlet reported back in September that Real Madrid were keeping close tabs on Carvalho, while a number of top 10 Premier League clubs were also interested.

That said, the Daily Mail has claimed that Mendes alerted Los Blancos and Barcelona “without joy”.

This is baffling if true, as a player as good as Carvalho, with such a high ceiling and, best of all, soon to be a free agent, would surely pique the interest of the top clubs.

But if Liverpool could land him ahead of the likes of Real Madrid, it would be a huge coup for the Anfield outfit, and fans should be buzzing if this happened.

A “fantastic” player, in Marco Silva’s words, Carvalho has even set his sights on winning the Ballon d’Or in future.

“I want to score goals and try to get Fulham back in the Premier League,” he told the Fulham matchday programme in May, as per The Athletic.

“I’m taking it step by step, but in the next few years I want to be competing for the Ballon d’Or.

“That’s my personal goal. I’m aiming high. You have to.”

Joining Liverpool would certainly be an ideal first step to help Carvalho achieve his goal.
