News about Ryan Gravenberch

LEWIS STEELE: Ryan Gravenberch has taken a pew on the stairs which are adorned with artwork of Reds icons past and present. A band of reporters are perched a couple of steps below the Dutchman, hanging on his every word. The seating layout feels metaphoric. Gravenberch has been head and shoulders above most midfielders in Europe this season. It is extremely premature but if the 22-year-old was to make this purple patch a regular occurrence, his face could join those greats on that wall to his right. No one in the Liverpool fanbase - or wider football stratosphere - can hold their hands up and swear they saw Gravenberch's early-season form coming, especially after a failed pursuit for defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi left many thinking the lack of a No 6 would be costly.

LEWIS STEELE: With a reworked version of a terrace chant formerly dedicated to Gini Wijnaldum, Anfield is growing more and more fond of another Dutchman with every passing week. Ryan Gravenberch looks the part and has been nominated for the Premier League 's player of the month award for September. And now the 22-year-old, once of Ajax and Bayern Munich ,  has the statistics to back up any argument.

LEWIS STEELE: It might be a fortnightly occurrence in 2024 but the scene is a stunned Old Trafford last month. Luis Diaz had just scored two goals in seven minutes to put Liverpool firmly in control of Arne Slot 's first trip to bitter rivals Manchester United , leaving home fans speechless again. Up in the away corner, those who made the short jaunt to Manchester from Merseyside were beginning a journey through the full repertoire of chants from the Kop songbook. No anthem was belted out with more ferocity than their ode to Diaz. 'His name is Lucho, he came from Porto,' it goes, to the tune of Bella Ciao, the folk song dedicated to the partisans of the Italian resistance. 'He came to score, came to score… came to score, score, score. He's Luis Diaz, he's from Barrancas… and he plays for Liverpool.'

Ibrahima Konate joked he should've been named Man of the Match after netting his first Premier League goal in Liverpool's win over Wolves. Arne Slot's side continued their impressive start to the campaign at Molineux on Saturday, thanks to a goal from the French defender and a Mohamed Salah penalty. The result sees the Red return to the top of the Premier League table ahead of Manchester City, who could only manage a draw despite taking the lead against Newcastle.

Gravenberch, 22, has always been a highly rated midfielder but found his career stall slightly following a disappointing season at Bayern Munich in 2022-23 after leaving Ajax. He moved on to Liverpool for £35million last year, but failed to nail down a regular place at Anfield as he started just 12 Premier League games.

Slot (right) has enjoyed a more of less perfect start to life in charge of the Reds, winning his first three matches of the Premier League season without conceding a goal. He faced a mammoth task of taking over from fan favourite Jurgen Klopp, but has already made his mark on the side, and Gravenberch (left) has played a huge role in the transformation. The midfielder has played a No 6 role so far this campaign, and shone in the 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the final match before the international break on Sunday.

Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman has taken a fierce dig at Liverpool star Ryan Gravenberch despite the midfielder's starring role in his side's 3-0 drubbing of Manchester United. The Dutchman, who traded Bayern Munich for Anfield last summer, has made a blistering start in the Premier League this season. He has put in a string of dominant performances at the base of new boss Arne Slot 's midfield and has played the full 90 minutes in each of the first three games. The 22-year-old continued his excellent start to the campaign in Sunday's ruthless victory over bitter rivals United, making crucial defensive interventions while pushing the side forward with pinpoint passing.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has told Ryan Gravenberch to ready himself to feature in two different positions this season. The 22-year-old played predominantly as a box-to-box midfielder under former boss Jurgen Klopp last season following his arrival from Bayern Munich. 'I had a little chat with him,' Gravenberch revealed after speaking to Slot recently.

LEWIS STEELE: Liverpool's top summer transfer target Martin Zubimendi has rejected a proposal to join the Merseyside club and will remain at boyhood team Real Sociedad. Spain's European Championship winner was identified as a top priority for Arne Slot's this window and Liverpool believed they could tempt him away from La Real. He had previously rejected the likes of Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Liverpool believed they had an agreement in place and Merseyside sources say Zubimendi has gone back on his word.

LEWIS STEELE IN PHILADELPHIA: Liverpool have held talks with Spanish side Las Palmas over adding a further friendly to their pre-season schedule ahead of the new season. The weekend, if it was to go ahead, would be a good chance for Slot to take a closer look at his returning players. Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate landed in Philadelphia in the last 24 hours but the Reds are still without several key names.

Liverpool fans have been left fawning over a training clip from their pre-season tour of the US. The Reds headed across the pond earlier this week as they continue preparations ahead of Arne Slot's first season in charge. Liverpool will face Real Betis in Pittsburgh on Friday, before taking on Arsenal in Philadelphia and Man United in South Carolina next week.

As England is set to face the Netherlands on Wednesday - the Three Lions' wives and partners are sure to be in the stands supporting their loved ones.  And the same goes for their rivals, who will have a host of glamorous WAGs, including models and business owners. But as England tries to secure a place in the final and bring home the trophy as the Lionesses did in 2022, they will be up against members of their own Premier League teams. Partners of football stars that may have sat together for matches and cheered on the same team will now be donning opposing football shirts as their boyfriends, fiancés and husbands battle it out to the end.

Euro 2024 is now days away and managers from the 24 teams have named their final squad list. With over 600 players across Europe set to feature at this year's European Championship. Here is a breakdown of every Premier League player appearing at Euro 2024 by club.

Gravenberch had received the ball from Harvey Elliott on the edge of the box and after shifting it to his right boot struck a powerful effort beyond Bernd Leno. Eagle-eyed punters also kept a close watch on Reds captain Van Dijk during the build-up, however, with the centre back seemingly celebrating too early. But to the surprise of many around the stadium, Gravenberch's fine effort hurtled into the net, handing Liverpool the lead in their must-win game in the capital. Footage showed Van Dijk raising his arms aloft as Gravenberch was teed up by Elliott, showcasing his confidence his Holland team-mate would fire home.

LEWIS STEELE AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: Liverpool saw something in Ryan Gravenberch that Bayern Munich did not. After tracking the Dutchman for several seasons, dating back to before his failed stint in Bavaria, the Reds knew he could be a pivotal member of their midfield. Sadly for Liverpool fans, they have not had much of a window into just why the recruitment team thought he would be a star player. Save for glimpses here and there, it's been a difficult first year in England for Gravenberch. But Sunday's performance against Fulham showed an example of what a fine midfielder he can become - and already might be if given chances to shine. He scored an important goal, Liverpool's first from open play after four games without one, with a curling side-footed finish.

Jose Mourinho was spotted in the crowd at Craven Cottage watching Liverpool's 3-1 win over Fulham on Sunday afternoon.  Trent Alexander-Arnold's superb free-kick opened the scoring, and while Timothy Castagne got an equaliser before half-time, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota secured the win for the visitors. The Special One, who has had Premier League management stints with Chelsea and Manchester United, attended the game with Turkey boss Vincenzo Montella.

LEWIS STEELE AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: Harvey Elliott should get a big slice of credit for Trent Alexander-Arnold's sublime free-kick during Liverpool's win over Fulham after confusing the home side's defensive wall, according to boss Jurgen Klopp. Alexander-Arnold scored a cracking strike to open the scoring for Liverpool, before Timothy Castagne equalised shortly before half-time. The Reds ended a four-game wait for an open-play goal as Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota secured the win after the break. And Klopp says Elliott put doubt into the minds of Fulham's defenders when he tried to poke a set-piece under the wall minutes before Alexander-Arnold's goal.

LEWIS STEELE AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: Liverpool moved level with Arsenal on points at the top of the Premier League table after starring in a 3-1 victory over Fulham on Sunday. Trent Alexander-Arnold fired Liverpool in front with a stunning first half free-kick before Timothy Castagne pulled the hosts back on level terms just before half time. Any fears of a possible comeback were quickly dispelled by Liverpool as Ryan Gravenberch fired Jurgen Klopp 's title-chasers back ahead with his first Premier League goal. Mail Sport's Liverpool correspondent Lewis Steele gives his player ratings from an enthralling battle at Craven Cottage.

Liverpool sparked life into their fading Premier League title hopes with a 3-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Jurgen Klopp 's side travelled to London having endured a miserable week that saw them suffer a damaging home defeat to Crystal Palace and exit the Europa League at the quarter-final stage. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who returned to the starting the line-up after a lengthy injury absence, gave the home side the lead with a sublime free-kick before Timothy Castagne equalised in first-half stoppage time.

Klopp's quest for four trophies was hampered by being on the injured list, but the entrepreneur was excited to announce some green shoots of recovery on Friday. Klopp also announced that Salah, who has been suffering from a thigh injury, will return to training next week, potentially putting him into contention against City on March 10. A list of other players who are still out includes Diogo Jota, Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch, and Curtis Jones.

Manchester United and Brighton have each sustained 28 injuries, while Tottenham, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace have all been dealt with 27 lay-offs. Liverpool and Chelsea have each sustained 27 separate injuries, highlighted by the combined 19 absentees from their matchday squads for the Carabao Cup finals at Wembley on Sunday.

Andy Robertson, a Liverpool defender, has sluggish for the Moises Caicedo's 'complete fail tackle' that resulted in Ryan Gravenberch's suspension. Gravenberch sustained an injury after a fight with Chelsea midfielder Caicedo in the Carabao Cup final. As the Reds' injury list continues to grow, Robertson was joined by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in criticizing Caicedo.
