Introducing Liverpool’s New Signing: Dominik Szoboszlai
=======================================================
Liverpool have completed the signing of Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig in a £60m deal. The 22-year-old has taken the iconic number 8 shirt, which was vacated by Naby Keita at the end of last season and famously worn by Reds legend Steven Gerrard. Szoboszlai says Gerrard was one of the standout players for him growing up and even has a quote from the former England midfielder tattooed on his body.

The tattoo, in Hungarian, reads: ‘Talent is a divine blessing, but without incredible will and humility, it is worth nothing.’ Szoboszlai says the quote was one of the reasons why he chose to take the number 8 shirt. ‘When I was a child, to be honest I didn’t watch that much football, but when it was Champions League, I watched and he was one of the biggest.’
What Can Liverpool Fans Expect from Szoboszlai?
———————————————
On what Liverpool fans can expect from him, Szoboszlai said: ‘I’m a player who can play box to box; quite fast but not the fastest as I see the players here. I have quite a good shot. But I’m not only me, it’s the team, so I’m looking forward [to that].’ On his best position, he said: ‘For me it doesn’t matter – I want to be on the pitch. But of course everybody has their own position. Of course, attacking midfielder as a 10, I can play on both 10s, left, right, on the sides also. Just I want to play.’
Conclusion

Liverpool have added another exciting talent to their ranks with the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai. The Hungarian international is a versatile midfielder who can play in multiple positions and has been inspired by Steven Gerrard’s career.
