Carvalho lavished praise on manager Thomas Frank and felt that he could take the next step in his career with this move.
He told club media: "I’ve watched a lot of Brentford, especially when they played against teams in the top six: they always put in a fight and that's exactly what you want to see.
"When I was on the bench for Liverpool for the away game two seasons ago (3-1 win), Brentford were all over us!
"But I’ve been keeping an eye out for Brentford; my dad watched the Benfica (pre-season) game because he’s a massive Benfica supporter and said, ‘Look, Brentford have got a good team!’"
