Gravenberch transfer: Liverpool midfielder absolutely being, suggests Jones
“It is fair to say that of the four midfielders signed final summertime, Gravenberch has been the minimum remarkable so significantly. But I would continue to be shocked if Liverpool were to slice their losses on the Dutchman following only a person season, despite some stores linking him with fascination from Galatasaray,” Jones reported.
“At 21, it is obvious that there is nevertheless area for advancement in his video game. The abilities are there – he has excellent sizing and toughness, he moves effectively with the ball and he has excellent complex features – but he is continue to a player of times, fairly than one particular who actually imprints himself on a video game. Way too typically, he drifts in and out, and in a Premier League midfield that can stand out a ton.
“He’s also had some terrible luck. He started off the Carabao Cup ultimate at Wembley but was taken out by Moises Caicedo early on, and there have been a pair of muscle problems that have struck him when he was threatening to create himself in the XI.
“There’s no doubt that he can enhance, and that he will will need to if he is to make himself a common starter, but his purpose towards Fulham on Sunday shows what he is able of, and I anticipate Gravenberch to get at minimum an additional period to display why Liverpool tracked him for so very long, and why they ended up so eager to rescue him from Bayern Munich final yr.”
