Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has shown his appreciation for one of Liverpool’s key midfielders, having revealed that Ryan Gravenberch is one of his favorite players to watch.

Although the Reds continue to struggle this season, with qualification for next season’s Champions League still up in the air as their place in the current campaign’s competition is also in the balance after defeat to Galatasaray this week, there is no denying that Arne Slot has plenty of quality in his side.

Florian Wirtz has taken some time to settle in, but the German star is beginning to show why Liverpool spent big on him, while some of his more established teammates have also managed to defy their side’s current problems.

Dominik Szoboszlai has perhaps been the Reds’ standout player this season, but it’s another midfielder who gets the praise from Caicedo, who could have been plying his trade at Anfield himself had he not had his heart set on a move to Stamford Bridge in 2023.

Asked during an interview with Sky Sports this week which of his fellow Premier League midfielders he likes the best, Caicedo picked out Gravenberch alongside Brighton’s Carlos Baleba.

“The other player I like is Gravenberch,” Caicedo said. “So good. So good. And Baleba as well. Both of them. They are so good. And yeah, I normally watch them when they play. So yeah, I enjoy when they play.”

Gravenberch was one of Liverpool’s players in last season’s title triumph, with his shift to a deeper-lying role in midfield proving a revelation.

The 23-year-old has been rewarded with a new long-term contract at Anfield this month, which is thought to keep him on Merseyside until 2032.

"I feel really, really good," Gravenberch said after signing his new deal. "I was really proud to extend my contract at such a big club. So, I’m really happy that I can stay for many more years.

"I felt directly the trust from the club, also from the manager. The decision for me was easy to make. My family is also happy here. We are now here almost three years, so I know everything already. I’m happy that I’m here."

He added: "For the short term, [my aim is to] end the season as good as possible. And for the long term: win many more trophies with Liverpool.

"I have a really nice relationship with [the fans]. Always when I do something good in the stadium I hear them singing my chant.

"I’m really grateful for the supporters because without them we would not be where we are now. In the future, we want to give them many more [trophies], so hopefully we can get that done."
