Liverpool Midfielder Misses PFA List…
Liverpool’s very own midfield maestro, Ryan Gravenberch, was missing in action from the PFA Young Player of the Year nominees, leaving fans spitting feathers and scratching their heads in disbelief. This despite the Dutch dynamo singlehandedly herding the Reds to top-flight glory, like a cowboy choreographing a stampede. He twirled, he whirled, he dazzled, but alas, the age fairy had other plans since the PFA parade required players to be 21 or younger. Sorry, Gravenberch, seems you’re playing in the senior league now!
Coach Arne Slot might need to consider a second career as a magician after his hat-trick of a decision to redeploy Gravenberch to a holding role, turning him into Liverpool’s very own midfield Gandalf. Wave your wands and hold your hats, because the lad also grabbed the Premier League Young Player of the Year like it was a candy from the sweet jar of footballing success. But PFA rules are stricter than a referee in stoppage time, so at 23, the magic boot doesn’t fit the youth glass slipper.
Among those elbowing their way onto the PFA shortlist are some potential Liverpool recruits, including Milos Kerkez, whose Bournemouth bound brilliance has him floating toward the Reds like a seagull spotting a chip. Meanwhile, Dean Huijsen and Morgan Rogers have both kept the rumor mill spinning with their moves, and Arsenal’s young guns, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwanieri, storm the pitch like a rocket-powered tandem bike. All eyes now turn to the big awards, where Liverpool’s own Egyptian King, Mohamed Salah, might yet clench another crown, while fellow teammates watch with bated breath. Game on!
