Whilst Amrabat could be ready-made for Liverpool’s first team, Gravenberch has age on his side heading into the next few seasons. The Dutchman is six years Amrabat’s junior and has plenty of time to develop and learn from players such as Mac Allister and Endo, aiming to become one of Europe’s leading midfielders.
However, Gravenberch’s desperation for first-team football signals that he expects regular first-team minutes, putting Klopp under pressure to offer the talent playtime. But with Liverpool fighting on four fronts so far this term, there could be plenty of opportunities for Gravenberch to settle into Klopp’s side.
Liverpool’s attention turns back towards the Europa League after last weekend’s disappointing 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur. The Reds welcome Belgian outfit Union Saint-Gilloise to Anfield, looking to build on their opening group stage victory over LASK Linz almost two weeks ago.
Gravenberch could be handed the opportunity to dominate the midfield as the Reds aim to finish top of the group and secure their place in the last-16 of the tournament. Liverpool then face a challenging test at fellow Europa League participants Brighton & Hove Albion when the duo return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon.
