Liverpool backed to seal 'brilliant' Ryan Gravenberch signing as picture emerges - pundit

Paul Robinson has backed Liverpool to make a late-window move for Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one suggested the 20-year-old would “flourish” under the management of Jurgen Klopp.

Gravenberch has struggled for game time since joining Bayern Munich from Ajax in the summer.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for the centre-midfielder this week.

As relayed by the Liverpool Echo (24 January), Gravenberch’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, was spotted at Anfield for Liverpool’s goalless draw with Chelsea.

When asked by Football Insider if Gravenberch could be a welcome addition at Anfield, Robinson said: “Gravenberch has not played much this year.

“He has been a bit-part player at best for Bayern Munich.

“He has so much potential. Let’s not forget he is still just 20. I think he is a good player from what I’ve seen of him.

“Perhaps he needs a new manager. He could flourish under somebody like Jurgen Klopp.

“If Liverpool can get him on loan, why not? It is an area that we all know they need to look at. I would not be against that move.

“Gravenberch is a good player who has not quite filled his potential. He was brilliant for Ajax last season. I was really impressed with him. That is why Bayern Munich took him. He has not hit the ground running there but he has some very good competition.

“A move to Liverpool could be in the interest of all parties.”
