Liverpool transfer news: Thiago Silva makes Fabinho prediction after completing move
LIVERPOOL new-boy Fabinho will adapt to the Premier League straight away, claims Brazil captain Thiago Silva.
Fabinho completed a move to Liverpool from Monaco on Monday evening.
The Reds beat Arsenal to his signature after the Gunners made a late move for him.
The 24-year-old will cost an initial £43.7million and becomes Liverpool's first signing of the summer window.
Fabinho has been left out of the Brazil squad for the upcoming World Cup in Russia.

But Silva was still asked about him at a press conference today.
And the Paris Saint-Germain skipper is confident his compatriot can succeed at Liverpool, in whatever position Jurgen Klopp chooses to play him.
“I think that he is really smart, he is a really technical player,” Silva said.
“I’m sure that he will get adapted to the Premier League as soon as he arrives.

“He changed his position at Monaco, he was a right-back and now he’s a midfielder.
“I don’t know how the club are thinking about using him.
“But I believe he can help Liverpool in both positions.”
