On the day Liverpool imploded at home to Atalanta, losing 3-0 at Anfield to begin their exit from the Europa League, Fabio Carvalho was helping to make news of a different kind 100 or so miles away.

The 21-year-old was among hundreds of drivers caught in gridlocked traffic in Hull and, with a BBC TV reporter unaware of who he was asking for comment, a smiling Carvalho wound down his window and offered his take on the bumper-to-bumper chaos.

“It’s a mess, that’s all I have to say,” he said (48 seconds into the clip below).

A loan with Hull City, though, is proving anything but.

Its first half had been close to a write-off when he was largely overlooked during an unhappy spell at RB Leipzig in Germany, but the termination of one loan has allowed another, far more productive one to flower.

The form shown with Hull in the past two months has been close to the level that earned him a £5million ($6.2m) move from Fulham to Liverpool as a teenager two years ago.

There were few, if any, more talented players than Carvalho in the Championship back then, the precocious star of a Fulham team that cantered to the title.

He has never come across as a loanee going through the motions at a level most would consider beneath his ability.

There was a sense that Carvalho did not do himself justice in his first few weeks at Hull when his match fitness levels were lacking after only three starts in five months with Leipzig, but the improvements have been noticeable.

Carvalho was excellent in a 2-1 win away to Southampton in mid-February and followed that up with more goals against promotion rivals West Bromwich Albion, Leicester City and Leeds United.

There were two more goals in a 3-1 win away to Cardiff City and another in a comfortable home victory over Queens Park Rangers 10 days ago.

Only five players (Josh Sargent, Ellis Simms, Che Adams, Sammie Szmodics and Jamie Vardy) have scored more Championship goals since Carvalho made his Hull debut against Norwich on January 12.

Saturday’s goalless draw away at Watford showcased Carvalho’s quick feet again, but the early penalty he won could not be converted by Turkey international Ozan Tufan.

Carvalho has been given a licence to express himself by Rosenior, typically playing as a central No 10 with the freedom to roam.

Hull have tended to play without a recognised centre-forward in the absence of Manchester City loanee Liam Delap, another player borrowed from the Premier League, with Carvalho and Tufan filling the void in fluid roles.

It was part of a vision sold to Carvalho by Hull in early January.

“Not only as a player but as a person.”

Ilicali suggested Carvalho eventually opted for Hull ahead of offers from Premier League clubs and rivals at the top of the Championship.
