Fabio Cravalho is set to complete a loan move to Hull City imminently after being recalled from RB Leipzig back to Liverpool with the attacking midfielder in dire need of game time.
Yesterday, it was confirmed by David Ornstein that his move to the Championship outfit will “be done in coming days”
And considering that the 21-year-old has played just 998 minutes of football for Liverpool and Leipzig since the start of the 2022/23 season, he will be fired up to play regularly.
He arrived at Anfield with a sense of expectation but for whatever reason, it just hasn’t worked out for him so far.
Fortunately, Liverpool have swiftly found another loan spell, this time at Hull City,
Where he can go in and get some seriously needed game time.
