“Well done”, “Jesus Christ!”: Liverpool fans explode on Twitter as club makes unexpected announcement

Liverpool’s recent Champions League loss to Real Madrid brought about a lot of our problems to the fore – one of them being the lack of power in the midfield area. It looks like Jurgen Klopp is wasting no time to boost our forces in that department.

Liverpool’s official website confirmed that we have managed to sign a deal with Fabinho, who is equally adept at playing as a right-back and as a defensive midfielder.

Given our situation, the Brazilian is likely to act as Emre Can’s replacement at the base of the midfield and in doing so, he would perfectly complement Naby Keita, who is also expected to arrive this summer.

Upon hearing the news, our fellow supporters on Twitter erupted in glee and we bring you some of the best reactions:
