Ryan Gravenberch is among the nominees for the Premier League Player of the Month for November. The Dutchman is having an outstanding season at Liverpool under manager Arne Slot and is in contention for the award for the second time this season.
In September, Ryan Gravenberch made the shortlist for the Premier League Player of the Month award, marking a significant milestone in his impressive start to the season.
However, on that occasion, the accolade went to Chelsea's rising star Cole Palmer, who had delivered standout performances. Fast forward two months, and Gravenberch finds himself once again in contention for the prestigious honor. This nomination is a testament to the Dutchman’s rediscovered top form and his growing influence on Liverpool's midfield under the guidance of manager Arne Slot.
November proved to be a fruitful month for Gravenberch, both in terms of consistency and contributions on the pitch. Due to the international break, Liverpool only played three matches during the month, but the limited schedule didn’t stop Gravenberch from leaving his mark. The midfielder was a fixture in the starting lineup, playing the full 90 minutes in all three fixtures. His standout moment came against Southampton, where he provided a crucial assist, showcasing his vision and ability to influence the game in the attacking third. His performances have been lauded for their blend of composure, creativity, and tactical awareness, all of which have solidified his position as a key player in Liverpool’s resurgence this season.
The competition for November’s Player of the Month award is fierce, as Gravenberch is up against an impressive lineup of nominees. Matheus Cunha of Wolverhampton Wanderers has earned praise for his dynamic play and ability to unlock defenses, while Bruno Fernandes continues to be a driving force for Manchester United, orchestrating their midfield with precision and flair. Arsenal’s duo, Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard, have been integral to the Gunners' title push, each delivering moments of brilliance in November. Brighton & Hove Albion's João Pedro has impressed with his finishing and movement, while Mohamed Salah, Gravenberch’s Liverpool teammate, remains a constant threat with his goal-scoring prowess. Yoane Wissa of Brentford has also earned recognition for his clinical performances and ability to step up in crucial moments.
Gravenberch’s inclusion among such esteemed company is a reflection of the strides he has made since joining Liverpool. The young Dutch midfielder arrived with high expectations, and while his adaptation took some time, his recent form suggests he is now fully integrated into the team’s system. Under Arne Slot, Gravenberch has thrived in a more fluid and expansive midfield role, allowing him to combine his defensive work rate with his natural creativity and technical ability. His ability to transition the ball quickly and contribute to both defensive recoveries and attacking transitions has made him an invaluable asset for Liverpool.
Liverpool’s resurgence this season has been built on the collective efforts of its players, and Gravenberch’s emergence as a consistent performer has been central to their success. His nomination for Player of the Month not only highlights his individual contributions but also underscores the progress Liverpool has made under Slot’s management. While the competition for the award is stiff, Gravenberch’s nomination alone is a significant achievement, further cementing his reputation as one of the most promising midfield talents in the league.
As the Premier League gears up for the busy festive period, Gravenberch will look to carry his momentum into December, further proving his worth to Liverpool and strengthening his case as one of the standout performers in English football. Whether or not he claims the Player of the Month award this time, his performances in November have undoubtedly placed him among the league’s elite midfielders, and his trajectory continues to inspire optimism for Liverpool fans.
