Not many players have been able to get near Ryan Gravenberch on the pitch this season, but one man has spent the year with an arm around his shoulder.
Virgil van Dijk, the Liverpool captain who describes Gravenberch as his 'little brother', has been guiding his compatriot through a stellar campaign that leaves him as strong favourite to win the Premier League young player of the year.
Whether it be in his ear non-stop about fitness and recovery, spending time lecturing him about learning the deep-lying midfielder role or even this week, showing him video clips of the 2019 trophy parade when Liverpool won the Champions League, the pair have been inseparable.
