Ryan Gravenberch wants MORE: He's not satisfied

Ryan Gravenberch has been a revelation and he has rightfully been named the Premier League's young player of the season for his efforts in Liverpool's title winning campaign.

At the start of the season, the Reds didn't really know what to do with him, but Arne Slot's vision has allowed the midfielder to flourish in a new system. He's one of our most important players now.

The traditional No. 6 role has been adapted this season at Liverpool, with the defensive workload spread across the entire midfield, allowing Gravenberch to focus on his strengths - carrying the ball forward and picking out clever passes to the wingers from deep while sitting alongside the defence.

His efforts have been paramount to Liverpool's success, finally plugging the hole left by Fabinho.

Becoming a levelled-up defensive midfielder next season

Speaking to James Pearce at The Athletic, the Dutchman expressed his desire to not sit on his laurels and make improvements next season to become a more complete midfield option for Arne Slot.

He said: "During a phone call in the first conversation I had with Arne, he said to me: 'I see you as a No. 8 [central midfielder] but I want to try you as a No. 6 [holding midfielder]'. From that moment, I only played as a No. 6. I didn't play a lot in that position before but this season, that position has made me who I am now.

"[But] I can still improve in goals and assists, and in demanding the ball more during a game. Sometimes, in a game, there's like five minutes when I don't touch the ball. In that position, you have to make the play happen."

As such, despite performing admirably in the role that Slot wanted him in, he's desperate to contribute even more to Liverpool's success as a team, with an attacking output.

Of course, this shouldn't necessarily be a surprise. The 22-year-old is always sitting on the edge of the penalty box when a corner kick has been swung in, hoping for a swipe at goal.

Although up until now he has been largely unsuccessful, with just four assists coming this season, compared to the four goals and one assist from last season in a more advanced role.

Whether we might see a transition reminiscent of Declan Rice at Arsenal, where the Englishman is taking most of the set-pieces, who knows. Slot might be tempted to mix things up in pre-season.
