Liverpool have completed the £34.2m signing of midfielder Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich on Deadline Day.

The 21-year-old has signed a five-year deal with Jurgen Klopp’s side and becomes the Reds’ fourth summer signing – with all of them being midfielders.

The Netherlands international has joined Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo in moving to Anfield this summer after Liverpool let Fabinho, Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabio Carvalho depart this summer.

Gravenberch is desperate for the opportunity to steer his development back on track after being starved of minutes at Bayern Munich.

“If you see it from the outside, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. Also the fans, the stadium, I think everything from the outside is top. So that’s why [it was the right club].

“I’m really looking forward to [being at Anfield] and I can’t wait to hear the You’ll Never Walk Alone song.

“Now we start fresh again, a new start, and I’m going to give my all for this club. [My ambitions are] to win prizes. To win prizes, play a lot and show them who we are and who I am.”
