Jeremie Frimpong and Van Dijk respond to Ryan Gravenberch after Liverpool announcement
Jeremie Frimpong and Virgil van Dijk reacted to an announcement regarding Ryan Gravenberch after his incredible performances this season.
Gravenberch has transformed his role in Liverpool’s midfield, becoming a key figure in Arne Slot’s impressive first season in charge.
Liverpool are preparing to lift the Premier League title on 25 May at Anfield—a day that will also mark Trent Alexander-Arnold’s final appearance for the club. While emotions will run high, the occasion is set to be one of celebration.
Following the club’s failure to land Martin Zubimendi last summer, there were concerns about the midfield, but Gravenberch has had a standout campaign for Liverpool under Slot.
The Dutchman has made 48 appearances this season, featuring in every Premier League match and recording four assists, offering both consistency and creativity.
His influence has now been officially recognised, following an announcement that sparked reactions across the football world.
