When the 21-year-old left for Germany, it felt like the beginning of the end and now Carvalho is returning to the Championship.

He was a truly exciting signing but his star seems to be dwindling although it seems bizarre to hear suggestions that he’s not good enough to play at the top level.

David Ornstein confirms Fabio Carvalho is “expected” to join Hull City this week

Taking to Twitter, the Athletic’s respected journalist, David Ornstein, reports that Liverpool are set to send Carvalho out on loan in the next few days with a move being arranged to send him to the 7th-placed Championship outfit.

Ornstein reports: “Fabio Carvalho expected to join Hull on loan from Liverpool. Came down to them Southampton but the Saints have not given up but after Rosenior and Morton talks.

“Anticipated to be done in the coming days.”

Hopefully Carvalho can rediscover his best form at Hull as it would be extremely disappointing to see him leave the club without never rarely playing for the club. Just 21 games spanning a total of 638 minutes.

The Portuguese attacking midfielder is a top talent but just needs to play regularly. This season, RB Leipzig only gave him 360 minutes in six months.
