Fabinho ‘wants to be the best’ after pledging his long-term future to Liverpool.
The Brazil international became the second member of Jurgen Klopp’s side to be rewarded with an new contract this summer with an extension until June 2025.
He joins Trent Alexander-Arnold in being handed improved terms by the Reds since becoming a virtual ever-present following his 2018 arrival from Monaco.
But the 27-year-old is refusing to rest on his laurels and revealed on Tuesday that he has already begun to set sights on elevating his personal abilities.
“The manager and the staff are pushing us for this because they know our capacity, they know our quality,” said Fabinho.
“Personally, I want to be the best for the team.
“I want to be an important piece in this team – not just as a player but as a leader as well; keep learning from the boys and the staff and be the best I can.
“We know with these players we can go really far in all the competitions.
“In the last year we didn’t win any trophies, so I think everyone is hungry to win more trophies, win more things, to keep our fans happy.
“Hopefully we will do this this season.”
