OPINION
The surprise is not that Grabara is heading out on loan. That is entirely logical for the giant Pole, who has made a good impression since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2017. The surprise is that the 6ft 4in (source: Transfermarkt) keeper is headed to a relative backwater. Aarhus haven’t won the Danish league in over 20 years and are currently placed 10th out of 14 teams in the division. Surely, Grabara would have been better off heading to a club that would test his mental strength. Talk of a reunion with ex-Liverpool academy coach Steven Gerrard had been mooted, and the pressure cooker atmosphere of Ibrox could have been ideal for Grabara. The keeper has immense potential. He has showed in six appearances in Premier League 2 for Liverpool Under-23s this season that he is commanding, agile and possesses superb reflexes. The next step is to show he can transplant that form and assurance into senior football, where the pressures are on an entirely different level.
