Cody Gakpo has detailed how impressed he has been with Ryan Gravenberch since the midfielder arrived to Liverpool this summer.
The 21-year-old Dutchman joined the Anfield giants on deadline day as Liverpool managed to get a deal across the line with Bayern Munich to sign Gravenberch.
Whilst not a guaranteed starter yet for Liverpool, the Ajax academy graduate has shown excellent signs in his first few games with the Reds under Jurgen Klopp.
Winning praise from the likes of Pep Lijnders, Gravenberch has all the makings of becoming a superb player for Liverpool in the years to come, and Gakpo has been impressed with what he has seen.
Speaking to the press via journalist Ian Doyle, the 24-year-old attacker was full of praise for his fellow countryman and how he has adapted already to life in the Premier League.
Gakpo said about Gravenberch: “He is a really good player, I think he is comfortable with the ball and can receive it and turn. I think he is a great player.”
