Liverpool’s rising star, Ryan Gravenberch, earned his first starting spot for the club in a recent Europa League match against LASK, drawing praise from football icons Ian Rush and Matthijs de Ligt.
The Anfield outfit secured Gravenberch’s signing from Bayern Munich this past summer after a prolonged pursuit of the talented Dutch midfielder.
Although the first half of the game against LASK was challenging for the entire team, Gravenberch made a significant impact in the second half, contributing to Luis Diaz’s winning goal in the 63rd minute.
Ryan Gravenberch impressive against LASK
This debut performance left a positive impression on both his international teammate, Matthijs de Ligt, and Liverpool legend Ian Rush, as they expressed their admiration for his display on his Instagram post.
At just 21 years old, Gravenberch is considered a remarkable talent, highly regarded by Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp.
With his recent assist, it’s expected that he will feature prominently in the team in the upcoming weeks and months.
The Merseysiders face a tough opponent in their next match against West Ham United, while Klopp may make some changes to the lineup, there’s a strong possibility that Gravenberch will retain his place.
The football world eagerly awaits to see how he performs if given the opportunity this weekend in the Premier League.
