Having started all but two of Liverpool's league fixtures this term, Gravenberch has now been rewarded with a new deal that ties him to Anfield until 2032.Speaking following the announcement, Gravenberch acknowledges that Liverpool is determined to finish the season strongly, with the team's hopes of defending the title now over.
