Liverpool is preparing to reward Ryan Gravenberch with a new contract

Liverpool are ready to reward man-of-the-moment Ryan Gravenberch with a new long-term deal.

Gravenberch played a starring role in Liverpool’s unexpected Premier League title win last season.

The Dutch international has made an amazing start to this season, crowned by his superb strike in Saturday’s Merseyside derby victory at home to Everton.

Gravenberch, who only turned 23 in May and who cost a bargain £35m from Bayern Munich, is under contract until the summer of 2028.

While the need to tie him down is not urgent, any extension would be a reflection of his importance to the team.
