Liverpool hero John Aldridge says Fabinho has been the club's best player this season.
Aldridge wrote for the Sunday World: "This Brazilian took time to settle at Liverpool and there were question marks over whether he would make the grade in English football, but he has now firmly established himself as a key man for Klopp.
"Fabinho is at his best in a central midfield role and that is where they need him to be every game next season, but he also showed he can also perform well at the heart of the defence.
"When Van Dijk and Gomez were ruled out for the season in October, Fabinho stepped in and showed he could marshal the defence, but he was badly missed in midfield when he dropped back.
"Overall, he played 42 games this season and was vital to keeping the team together when so many star names were in the treatment room."
