Ryan Gravenberch has revealed the advice given to him by Jurgen Klopp ahead of making his full Liverpool debut in Thursday night’s Europa League tie with LASK. The Dutch midfielder was a deadline day signing for £34.2 million from Bayern Munich to complete the midfield rebuild at Anfield.
Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Fabinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita all departed in the pursuit of new challenges, meaning several reinforcements were required in the engine room. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominic Szoboszlai were brought into the club very early in the summer transfer window with Wataru Endo joining them in mid-August.
Gravenberch was the fourth and final signing in the summer for Klopp’s side, with the German manager very keen on linking up with the Dutch youngster. A difficult year at Bayern Munich was not enough to put the German boss off the idea of bringing the 21-year-old to Liverpool, with the Reds said to have also been keen on his signature during his time at Ajax.
