Liverpool boss knows what he has in his squad 

Jürgen Klopp has been truly fascinated by the form of one of his new summer signings. A player who is making a difference in the midfield. Liverpool needed a change of direction after a rather inconsistent 2022-2023 season. Without going any further, they were out of the Champions League, which they have won on a total of six occasions. Despite this, it stands to reason that they are the favourites to succeed Sevilla in the Europa League crown.

Moving on to the revolution in their engine room, the Premier League powerhouse would make a major effort to recruit Dominik Szoboszlai (23). Surely an attacking midfielder who has already given firm evidence of the magic he possesses with the leather on his boots. Still with the Hungarian, it should be noted that he has stood out as an interior player with a lot of finishing from the second line. It is also worth adding that Szoboszlai is displaying tremendous physicality in the wide area of Jürgen Klopp's team. That's why Anfield are excited about their player.

Dominik has a long way to go with the Reds, feeling central to the plans of the former Borussia Dortmund boss. His impact has been spectacular, causing a stir and generating consensus among the Merseyside faithful. In short, Klopp and his Liverpool side are surrendering to Szoboszlai. That Dominik Szoboszlai would have the immediate impact he is having at Liverpool was hardly to be expected no matter how much he cost at €70m. The Hungarian has been one of the sensations of this early season in the Premier League.

<strong>The new Gerrard</strong>

The comparison with a legend like Gerrard can be hard to bear, but it was he himself who linked himself with the former Reds captain on his first day at Liverpool: "I wanted to wear the number 8, I have a Steven Gerrard tattoo [a quote from him]. That's the reason. He was one of my idols since I was a kid. Now, in England, they are beginning to see more similarities with Gerrard than just the number. Szoboszlai is winning over his new fans by showing endless quality on the ball, a sacrifice off it that is surprising everyone and a physique that has stood up to the pace of the Premiership. And, of course, a super-class shot. There are few players in Europe who can shoot from distance like him.
