Fabinho: 'I Don't Have a Single Reason to Leave' Liverpool Amid PSG Rumours

Fabinho has shut down speculation linking him with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and says he is happy at Liverpool.

The Brazilian arrived from Monaco in the summer for £43.7 million, but rumours had circulated that he could make a swift exit to return to Ligue 1.

However, the midfielder told UOL Esporte's Caio Carrieri (h/t the Mirror's Mark Jones, via L'Equipe): 

"I was told that there was something in the media, but I have never said that I wanted to leave Liverpool. I was aware that I would need to have patience and wait for my moment. I am happy at Liverpool, I don’t have a single reason to leave."

Fabinho, who can also provide cover at right-back if needed, has been slowly introduced by manager Jurgen Klopp following his arrival and did not make his first Premier League appearance for the Reds until October 20.

He has featured in six of the eight matches they've played since then, completing 90 minutes in five.

Aside from a shaky performance away at Arsenal in the 1-1 draw on November 3, his showings have largely been positive.

As Stats Bomb revealed, he's an impressive ball-winner in the centre:

Not content to just break up opponents' play, the Brazilian also looks to feed Liverpool's attackers with forward passes after regaining possession, per sports scientist and coach Simon Brundish:

Though he's not had chance to demonstrate as much for the Reds yet, he can also be a source of goals, too, particularly from the penalty spot.

The 25-year-old netted 31 goals for Monaco, bagging 12 in all competitions in the 2016-17 campaign as he helped them win Ligue 1 and reach the UEFA Champions League semi-final. Of his overall tally for Monaco, 19 were penalties from just 20 attempts from the spot, per Goal's Robin Bairner.

Though he may have taken a little time to settle at Anfield, the signs are already there that he could become a key player for Liverpool in the years to come.
