Former Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart believes that Liverpool target Ryan Gravenberch is better than Jude Bellingham as the Reds attempt to seal a deal for the Dutchman.
The Reds have been linked with a move for both midfielders over the past year but now have a preference. Liverpool have dropped out of the running for the Borussia Dortmund star after being left concerned at the price they will have to pay for him.
Bayern Munich midfielder Gravenberch is seen as a cheaper alternative, with the Merseysiders already doing the groundwork to secure his services. He has already informed Liverpool that he would be open to a summer move to Anfield.
