Since, the dominant midfielder has become a permanent fixture in Klopp's side and has played an influential role in helping the club become both European champions and Premier League winners. 

'I'm delighted to have signed a new contract with the club,' Fabinho told Liverpoolfc.com.

The Brazilian is seen as an integral part of the senior Liverpool squad for the future

'Since the beginning of the conversation, I was really positive about it because it's what I wanted – staying in this club, keep playing for Liverpool. Now this is official and I'm really happy.

'These last three seasons I've been really happy here. I learned a lot with the manager, with all the staff, with the boys as well.

'We achieved things together and for me I think it's the best place to be, the best place to keep growing, to keep learning from the staff, from the boys. Hopefully we will keep achieving good things.'

Last season Fabinho found his versatility much used by Liverpool, who struggled with a defensive crisis from December 2020 onwards.
