Ryan Gravenberch might have only celebrated his 23rd birthday earlier this month, but he has, rather impressively, already won five domestic titles in senior career.

A three-time Eredivisie winner with Ajax, he also won the Bundesliga title in his sole season with Bayern Munich prior to his move to Liverpool in the summer of 2023.

While the Reds missed out on the Premier League last year in his maiden campaign with the club, ultimately stumbling on the final straight in the title-race, that has proven to be the only blemish for the now Premier League-winning Dutchman in the past five years.

Now boasting four league titles in the past five years in three different nations, Gravenberch is perhaps obtaining a taste for sitting top of the tree.

But winning the Premier League with Liverpool will hit home a little differently, having played a pivotal role in Arne Slot’s side being crowned champions of England and belatedly shone outside of his homeland.

A star player under his compatriot, the Netherlands international has started all but one of Liverpool’s league matches to date in their title-winning campaign.

It comes in total contrast to his last league title with Bayern, where he endured a frustrating year and started just three times in the Bundesliga.

Having also been limited to a sporadic role under Jurgen Klopp last year, the fact that he is the favourite to win the Premier League Young Player of the Year award only reiterates just how impressive the 23-year-old’s turnaround in fortunes at Anfield has been.

Gravenberch himself admits he never foresaw the transformation coming.

“Personally, I feel that if you had said this to me before the start of the season I wouldn't have believed you,” he admitted to reporters including the ECHO after the opening of his own Cruyff Court in Anfield.

I'm really happy.”

Liverpool FC has launched its Premier League champions range after winning its 20th league title.

Fans can pick up items including the 24/25 Home Stadium Jersey with 'Champions 20' printing or 'Champions 24/25' today.

Considering Liverpool tried to sign Martin Zubimendi last summer, only to see the Spaniard U-turn at the 11th hour and opt to stay put at Real Sociedad, things could have been rather different for Gravenberch had the pursuit ended differently.

Missing out on Zubimendi ultimately prompted a re-think from Slot.

Really good qualities so we will see, we have to wait."

While Liverpool supporters will have to wait and see for official confirmation of Frimpong’s arrival, they have already had to be patient with Gravenberch.

A remarkable campaign has finished with the Dutchman establishing himself as one of the Reds’ star players while, on Sunday, he will don a Premier League winner’s medal around his neck.

And his connection to the city of Liverpool has been cemented further by the opening of ‘Cruyff Court Ryan Gravenberch’ in Anfield.

“Honoured to open my own Cruyff Court in Liverpool!

A space where every child can shine, that’s what it’s all about,” he wrote on social media following its unveiling.

Having himself shone on the Anfield pitch throughout the season, for Gravenberch, his eye-catching campaign culminating in becoming a Premier League champion is only the beginning.
