Dominik Szobozlai of Liverpool has had a fantastic start to life on Merseyside, and he has already accomplished an incredible feat.
The Hungarian international, who cost £60 million to sign from RB Leipzig, has started every league game thus far and has been a revelation.
Following their summer transfer business, he has already adapted to Jurgen Klopp’s side and has established himself as a crucial starter. Fans have praised his work ethic, energy, and flair, and now they are impressed with yet another great quality.
Szobozlai recorded a high speed of 36.76 kph versus Wolves, making him the 2nd fastest footballer in Premier League history, according to sports scientist Simon Brundish.
It is a shocking speed, and video of a specific occasion during the triumph over Wolves shows Szoboszlai traveling at such breakneck speeds as he attempted to catch the ball after another risky Wolves break in the first half.
In terms of comparisons, Brundish asserts that Kyle Walker of Manchester City has the best speed after being clocked at 37.3 kph as the fastest player last season.
Darwin Nunez, a really strong and swift runner for Liverpool, had the fifth-highest speed previous season at 36.53 kph.
They both even beat City’s Erling Haaland, who placed significantly lower in the standings with a speed of 36.09kph, in terms of time.
