Make it a double for Liverpool in this year’s end of season awards.
Ryan Gravenberch has won the Young Premier League Player of the Season award.
Many players have shone for Liverpool so far this season, but not many stars have stood out as brightly as Ryan Gravenberch’s.
A player reborn and reinvented under Arne Sot, the Dutch midfielder has been a key cog in the Slot machine that has won the Premier League title.
He has worked tirelessly for the team, winning the most possession and covering the most distance in the Premier League out of all Liverpool players.
Gravenberch was nominated for the award alongside Liam Delap, Anthony Elanga, Dean Huijsen, Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers and William Saliba and has beaten them all to clinch the award.
A key frustration for Jurgen Klopp towards the end of his tenure was failing to see the best way to utilise Gravenberch and unlock his magic, but Slot found the keys to do so and he has been brilliant this season.
Ryan Gravenberch has showed a remarkable adaptability to play the most games he ever has in a single campaign so far.
In the Premier League, he has missed just one game as Liverpool visited Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea at the start of May.
Protecting his defence with ease, with a unique ability to turn on the ball and transition effortlessly from defence to attack, this award is the icing on the cake for a man who has such a bright future at the club.
Gravenberch was a player who struggled after his big move to Bayern Munich from Ajax, and in his first season at Liverpool, but he has finally found his home now, a reminder to all to let it all work out.
Liverpool won’t be forgetting any time soon that they have a star in Ryan Gravenberch, and they will want to keep him at the club for as long as they can.
