DONE DEAL: Klopp pleased as Liverpool sign Gravenberch

Liverpool have completed the signing of Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich.

The Holland midfielder arrives in a €40m deal and has penned a five-year contract.

"I'm very happy that the deal is done and I'm finally here. It's one of the biggest clubs in the world," Gravenberch told Liverpool's website.

"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."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "Ryan knows he has to improve things but he's 21, it would be crazy if not. But he is super-talented, he can drive the ball, he can be a box-to-box threat.

"He has a good eye for a pass and a good pass. I said before, we have a big challenge to reinvent pretty much one of the most successful midfields this club ever had, and I really like it.

"When I look now at the team, it's a good football team, honestly."
