Dominik Szoboszlai, a new summer acquisition for Liverpool, has received high praise from former striker turned commentator Alan Shearer.
The Reds identified their aging midfield as the primary factor contributing to their failure after a dismal campaign the previous season. They decided to renovate the engine room during the just-completed summer window.
After allowing Naby Keita, Alex Olexlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, and Fabinho to depart the team, Jurgen Klopp has made purchases of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch.The guy who has had the largest influence for the Merseyside club thus far this season among those new additions is Szoboszlai. The Hungarian has played in eight games for the Reds in all competitions and has already scored two fantastic goals.Shearer recently claimed on the Rest is Football Podcast that Szoboszlai has quickly adapted to his new environment, which is not always easy for players who go from abroad.The analyst goes on to say that Szoboszlai boasts nearly every quality that a top-tier midfielder ought to have and that he has shown signs that he might develop into a true asset for Liverpool in the future.
In her words:
“Players sometimes need time to settle in, but not this guy. He immediately exudes authenticity. Everything about his game, including the intensity a midfielder needs, is top-notch, and he exudes class.Although I am aware that it is still very early, given what we have seen from him, I believe it is premature to bring him up.He was mentioned alongside Steven Gerrard. But what a fantastic start to his Liverpool career he has had.
Liverpool chose to pay Szoboszlai’s £60 million release clause in order to sign him, and so far, it appears like the money was well spent.The Hungarian is exceptionally quick, strong, and technically sound. He can open up opportunities for attackers, has a keen eye for long-range goals, and works incredibly hard even when he doesn’t have the ball.
Therefore, it is clear that he has the qualities needed to succeed at the greatest level. The Anfield supporters will therefore be hopeful that Szoboszlai will be able to keep up his good performances and assist the club in moving forward.
