Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann has heaped praise on summer signing Ryan Gravenberch.
The German has often been critical of the club's transfer work in recent years.
However, he has been hugely impressed by Gravenberch's transformation since signing from Bayern Munich in the summer.
Speaking to TZ, Hamann said: Gravenberch is doing it outstandingly so far. It's almost unbelievable that he was barely used at Bayern under two managers.
People always used to ask me what it was like. I couldn't say because he never played for Bayern. Now in Liverpool you can see what he can do.
Gravenberch has a good physical presence, a decent finish and also a certain pace. When you see him at Liverpool you really wonder why he didn't play a role at Bayern.
After what had been a messed-up year for him, it was clear that he wanted to make a fresh start. From my point of view, he seems to be a good character. I can't imagine that he allowed himself to be hanged in Munich. And now he is an integral part of a class team at Liverpool."
