Harry Redknapp Praises Dominik Szoboszlai Ahead of Liverpool’s Clash with Tottenham
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has praised Liverpool summer signing Dominik Szoboszlai ahead of the Reds’ huge clash with Spurs on Saturday evening. Szoboszlai, 22, moved to Anfield in a £60million deal having scored 20 goals and made 22 assists in 91 appearances for RB Leipzig.
The attacking midfielder wears the No.8 and is already earning comparisons to the most famous man to don that shirt for Liverpool: the legendary Steven Gerrard. Redknapp told Premier League Odds: ‘This squad looks revitalised, they’ve done some good business in the summer. Don’t ask me to pronounce his name but Szoboszlai looks like a top, top player to me! What a fantastic goal that was against Leicester, it was like watching Steven Gerrard.’
Liverpool’s Dominant Record Against Spurs
Since Klopp became Liverpool boss in 2015, the Reds have played Spurs 18 times and have only lost once, winning 11 of those meetings. Redknapp is backing his former side to bag all three points on Saturday, adding: ‘I can’t wait for this one. I’ve loved what I’ve seen from Spurs this season. I had a feeling the Spurs fans would take to big Ange [Postecoglou] but I didn’t think it would be this quick. They showed so much character against Arsenal last week, they would have lost that game in previous seasons. James Maddison has been one of the league’s best players. I’m picking Spurs here though. The club seems revitalised, I’m saying 3-1.’
Szoboszlai’s Impact at Liverpool
Szoboszlai has been a brilliant addition to Jurgen Klopp’s team, most recently scoring a stunning goal in the Carabao Cup victory over Leicester. Redknapp added: ‘Liverpool have won five in a row, I really like what I’m seeing from them. This squad looks revitalised, they’ve done some good business in the summer. Don’t ask me to pronounce his name but Szoboszlai looks like a top, top player to me! What a fantastic goal that was against Leicester, it was like watching Steven Gerrard.’
Conclusion
Saturday’s match between two unbeaten sides is set to be a thrilling Premier League match and Harry Redknapp is backing his former side to bag all three points. Summer signing Szoboszlai has been a brilliant addition to Jurgen Klopp’s team and is already earning comparisons to the most famous man to don the No.8 shirt for Liverpool: the legendary Steven Gerrard.
