Ryan Gravenberch is already winning plenty of plaudits at Anfield.
The Dutch international was freed from his Bayern nightmare on Deadline Day, making a €40 million switch to Liverpool. Despite barely playing in Bavaria, the 21-year-old has shown no signs of rust since breaking into Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Regarded as one of Europe’s biggest talents while at Ajax, we’re now finally seeing glimpses again of what enthralled Europe’s biggest sides before his Bayern move.
The midfielder racked up his second assist in as many games for Liverpool in the Reds’ EFL Cup clash with relegated Leicester City. After going 1-0 down early on in the game, the Dutchman played a vital role in the Reds’ comeback.
After showing some quick feet to open up space, Gravenberch threaded the ball through the eye of a needle to set up Cody Gakpo for Liverpool’s equaliser, and Reds fans loved it.

🇳🇱 That’s 2 assists now in 2 games for Ryan Gravenberch.
Just like against LASK, he also created the most chances (4) against Leicester as well while he was on the pitch.
Looks like a man reborn under Klopp, and he’s only just getting started. Liverpool has a really exciting… pic.twitter.com/ZYgeDoyIkl
