Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has heaped praises on the latest signings that have joined the team in the summer transfer window.
Jurgen Klopp is keen on revamping his midfield following the exit of Naby Keita, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after their contracts expired last month.
The Reds have completed deals for Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai from Brighton and RB Leipzig on five-year deals respectively.
Mac Allister moves to Anfield on the back of a successful campaign in the Premier League where impressed for The Seagulls while Szoboszlai emerged as one of the best young midfielders in Germany, netting 20 goals and recording 22 assists in 91 appearances for Leipzig. He also won two DFB-Pokals during his stay at the Red Bull Arena.
Both midfielders are expected to report for pre-season training at the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday having completed moves to the Reds over the summer.
“We lost, I think, three midfield players that were really important for us in the last maybe five, six years. It’s good to bring some good players in that position because we will need [them],” Fabinho told Liverpoolfc.com.
“In the way we play, the intensity we play, we always need not just three or four but maybe six players in this position [in the squad].
“So yes, it’s good to have these two players with us now. We played against them already, so we know how good they are. It’s good to have them in the team.”
He added: “Yes, football is like this. Sometimes we will lose some very good friends. That’s the case with Bobby; he’s gone, so I wish him and his family all the best.
“We have to focus on the players that we have now. At the moment, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai have arrived. I didn’t see them yet, they have a couple more days of holidays.
“We just hope that they will be ready to be with us. We will help them in the adaptation and hope they will be ready and get the ideas of the team as quick as possible.”
