News summary

Ryan Gravenberch has emerged as a crucial player for Liverpool this season, notably delivering a standout performance in the 247th Merseyside Derby where he became the youngest player to both score and assist in the fixture at 23 years and 127 days. His contributions helped Liverpool secure a 2-1 victory over Everton, extending their perfect start to the Premier League campaign. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk praised Gravenberch as being in the "form of his life," highlighting his importance to the team's style of play and his significant development since his arrival from Bayern Munich in 2023.

This transformation has made Gravenberch integral to Liverpool's success and a key figure in their midfield going forward.
