Fabio Carvalho has reportedly caught the eye of RB Leipzig coaches this week in training, with the Liverpool talent out on loan with the German side.
According to Bild, Marco Rose and his team has spent most of the international break evaluating the 21-year-old winger, with Carvalho impressing his new coach having joined from Liverpool for the season.
Despite making just two appearances off the bench for Leipzig, Carvalho is highly-rated at the Bundesliga side, with the youngster expected to gain more minutes in upcoming fixtures.
Lauded as ‘special’ by Harvey Elliott, the Portuguese youth international has the potential to become a superstar at Leipzig if Rose decides to give Carvalho regular minutes in the starting XI.
And this international break has given the Bundesliga coach time needed on the training pitch to give Carvalho a fair assessment, with the winger now catching the Leipzig manager’s eye.
