Former Netherlands star Rafael van der Vaart has heaped praise on Liverpool boss Arne Slot for the impact he has had on Ryan Gravenberch.

Gravenberch, 22, has always been a highly rated midfielder but found his career stall slightly following a disappointing season at Bayern Munich in 2022-23 after leaving Ajax.

He moved on to Liverpool for £35million last year, but failed to nail down a regular place at Anfield as he started just 12 Premier League games.

However, under new boss Arne Slot, a fellow Dutchman, Gravenberch has proven to be a revelation at the start of the campaign, where he has played in a deeper role at the base of midfield.
