Gravenberch’s pace is one of his most appealing qualities for a centre-back. He moves quickly across the ground, both in straight-line speed and recovery sprints.

His playmaking ability is another standout feature that sets him apart from many other defenders. Coming from a midfield background, Gravenberch is comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Defensively, Gravenberch is solid and intelligent. His tackling feels clean and well-timed, and he uses his body effectively to block off runs or shield the ball.

His medium/high work rates complement this well, he maintains discipline in his defensive duties, staying deeper and reading the game effectively.

His physicality is another strong point. Gravenberch is tall, strong and composed under pressure. He’s able to win shoulder-to-shoulder duels and hold off even the most powerful strikers.
