Klopp believes Gravenberch can become the long-term successor to Fabinho as Liverpool's specialist defensive midfielder
Jurgen Klopp has detailed Ryan Gravenberch's potential to become the long-term successor to Fabinho and dismissed the new Liverpool midfielder's difficult year at Bayern Munich as "a normal step" in his development.
Klopp believes the tough campaign experienced is typical for a young player moving to such a big club at the age of 20 and the Reds boss thinks the versatile midfielder can be the ultimate replacement for Fabinho in the 'No.6' position at Anfield after the Brazilian moved to Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad in July.
"He's so skilled, I don't like to talk about the things he is not good at yet. They all have skills and yes they have to improve and he knows that, and he tries but the natural stuff is there and all the other stuff takes time and that is how it is. He is an 8, he can play as a 10, definitely and yes, in time, he can play as a 6. Like Curtis [Jones] could play as a 6, they just have to get used to the different spaces and responsibilities.
"But besides that [Gravenberch] is a real talent. So now we have to see. We obviously have good players and we don't need to push him in because he is new, it's a mid and long-term project and he will be with us definitely and will have enough opportunities to play."
