Every transfer deal done before the deadline

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool ended up having a very busy final few days of the January transfer window as they sealed the signing of Luis Diaz but failed in a late bid to secure Fulham teenager Fabio Carvalho’s signature.

After his country fell to World Cup qualifying defeats to Peru and Argentina the winger has been criticised for his performances and his move to the Reds called into question.

It comes as Fabio Carvalho has reacted to his transfer to Liverpool breaking down, and as Reds stars Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane prepare to face-off in an Africa Cup of Nations final showdown.
