Dominik Szoboszlai has been the focus of an intriguing five-word prediction from Neil Jones, who feels that he is “destined for the leadership group” at Liverpool.
The Hungarian, who joined the team from RB Leipzig in the summer, has only played in five competitive games for the squad (Transfermarkt), but his early performances at Anfield have already won him plaudits. The 22-year-old’s early impact on Merseyside has been so great that the journalist suggested in an exclusive essay for EOTK Insider that Jurgen Klopp may soon view the playmaker as a leader inside the club.
Szoboszlai, in particular, seems to be bound for the leadership group, according to Jones. When a player was sent off against Bournemouth, he just increased his intensity levels, giving the impression that he knows how to play the game and respond in game situations.He can dribble, he has a terrific knowledge of what a game needs, and he demonstrated it once more on Saturday. We saw it in the Newcastle match, and you can see it when the opportunity to shoot occurs.
Despite not turning 23 until late October, Szoboszlai has proven to be a capable leader throughout his career. He won the captaincy of the Hungary national team the previous year. He has made more than 250 senior appearances at the club and international levels combined for someone so young (Transfermarkt). Jones also mentioned how outstanding the playmaker’s in-game knowledge is.
Even at this early level, Szoboszlai already seems like a prospective member of a brand-new quintet in the following few years. That one sentence sums up the Hungarian’s significant early influence at Anfield.
