OPINION
Liverpool clearly have high hopes for towering stopper Grabara, who joined from Ruch Chorzow in the summer of 2016 and has established himself in the youth ranks of the club. He is not only a key player in the Under-19s progress to the knockout stages of the Uefa Youth League but he is also the regular keeper for the Merseysiders’ Under-23s, keeping five clean sheets in eight matches this season. A superb reflex ‘keeper, who catches and kicks confidently, the Poland U21 international has been described by Gerrard as a “top goalie” who “commands his box so well.”
