At Liverpool, Ryan Gravenberch will be reunited with a friend and teammate with whom he has never experienced defeat. An important goal for Jürgen Klopp would be to keep the winning run alive at Anfield.

On Friday, the last day of the transfer market, Liverpool added Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, capping off an exciting rebuilding process at Anfield. Now that Jürgen Klopp has so many choices in the middle of the field, the future seems bright for both the team and its supporters.

It’s quite thrilling that Gravenberch has finally arrived. Even if things did not work out for Gravenberch at Bayern Munich, he is still one of the top midfielder prospects in European football, and the Reds have a great talent on their hands if he can get his career back on track at Anfield.

He can play on either side of the midfield, as well as in the deeper holding midfield role in a double pivot.

He should feel more at home here since there is a sizable Dutch community at the club. Pep Lijnders is the assistant coach, and Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo are members of the team.

Gravenberch will be familiar with Gakpo since the two played together for the Netherlands national team at the Under-21 and senior levels.

For Liverpool fans, it’s worth noting that their combined undefeated record speaks volumes.

Five times total for the Dutch U21 and senior national teams, they have won every game while scoring 12 goals and allowing none.

As a U21 team, the Netherlands dominated Gibraltar, winning 5-0 on their debut.

If that tendency holds at Anfield, it would be well received by Liverpool supporters. For now, it’s vital to underline how Gravenberch’s existing relationships with people like Gakpo and Van Dijk will help him get established in fast.

While it’s evident that Gravenberch won’t have any trouble communicating in English, having teammates who have similar experiences and miss the same things from back home might help them both on and off the field.

It’s the ideal setting for the former Ajax academy graduate to resurrect his career, what with the presence of Lijnders, who will have watched Gravenberch’s career attentively, and who is infamous for watching a lot of Eredivisie.

Gravenberch has ‘unbeatable’ alliances and many close personal and professional connections at Anfield. It’s up to him to finish things now.
