Following his summer transfer from Bayern Munich, Ryan Gravenberch has the support of former Liverpool player Boudewijn Zenden.
On the day of the transfer deadline, Gravenberch was acquired from the German giants. The midfielder began his professional career with Ajax after completing the renowned youth program of the Dutch club.
The Reds have been keeping an eye on the Netherlands international for some seasons and believe he has the versatility to play in a variety of systems and roles in the middle of the pitch. His acquisition was a component of the summer midfield makeover that the team underwent.
In his 24 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern last season, Gravenberch was only able to make three starts. However, since moving to Merseyside, he has made eight appearances for the Reds, with his most recent start coming in the 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday.
Zenden, who played 47 times for Liverpool, thinks his countryman will play a significant role on Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Therefore, I believe that Gravenberch will gradually start to feel better and that he will undoubtedly be crucial. The only enigma is what kind of part it will be.
“Is he going to play a more cautious role—one with more freedom to move forward—since Mac Allister often plays defensive midfield?
Gravenberch is a player with Ajax DNA who naturally loves to shift and fill empty areas, so absolutely.
