Ryan Gravenberch showed what he was all about as Liverpool beat LASK last night in their Europa League opener.
New signing Gravenberch was handed his start in the midfield as Jurgen Klopp rang the changes for the clash with the Austrian side.
And the Dutchman didn’t disappoint Klopp, as he produced a fine performance to help the Reds win 3-1.
Van Dijk and De Ligt among players impressed with Ryan Gravenberch
Gravenberch has been brought in by Jurgen Klopp to fill the void left by the departures of key midfielders in the summer.
Despite not doing too well at Bayern, Gravenberch is very much regarded as one of the top young midfielders in Europe and he did well against LASK last night to give Klopp food for thought.
And over on Instagram, after posting about the win, a few Dutch heavyweights in Virgil van Dijk, Jurrien Timber and Matthijs de Ligt were among the players to laud the new Reds signing.
Taking to the replies on Insta, all of Timber, Van Dijk and De Ligt opted for the common emoji response we see so much now, with De Ligt suggesting Gravenberch was on fire with his performance.
Gravenberch will now be hoping to force his way into the first XI in the Premier League now and make himself a regular fixture in the side.

It was vital we got off to a good start in Europe and after a few shaky moments, Liverpool came through with a fine win in the end.
For Gravenberch, it was equally important for him to get off to a flyer and he did very muchn look the business at times last night.
With MacAllister, Szoboszlai and now Gravenberch, the Reds midfield now looks set for the next few years at least and arguably, looks better than the one we’ve had previously.
