Liverpool sign attacking marvel Szoboslai from Leipzig(2023)
HOW DID HE SIGN FOR LIVERPOOL?
The deal happened in 7 days to everyone's suprise
Negotiations picked up pace on Friday, a matter of hours before the player's £60m release clause with the RB Leipzig elapsed.
"I really like Klopp," he said in 2020. "The way he can inspire his players is unbelievable.
"Even when they have nothing, they can stand up and his players can achieve anything. For me, he is the best manager in the world.”
The deal is separate from the negotiations that will see Carvalho spend a year on loan at Leipzig and the interest in the likes of Southampton's Romeo Lavia and ice's Khephren Thuram is not expected to go end as the deal is completed. Jurgen Klopp's side is also still looking at Celta Vigo's Gabri Veiga.
Liverpool is undergoing a midfield rebuild so signing so quickly him will definitely aid that process and give more confidence to the fans.
WHY DO LIVERPOOL NEED HIM?
His best positions for Leipzig are as an attacking midfielder or off the left wing where he can cut in on his right. As an attacking midfielder, his playmaking abilities are clear to see. it’s clear that he’s always leading by example to make something happen in the game.
His technique is a clear strength as he has great dribbling ability and agility for someone tall and a great first touch. Obviously, there’s his top ball-striking and free-kick threat, however, he’s also got great delivery from corners and free kicks. A true set-piece specialist.
Szoboszlai’s defensive output is something that’s come into question due to him being a more attacking player. He doesn’t thrive in this area but he’s not terrible defensively. He does the job, but that isn’t his role. If complemented with other midfielders with defensive prowess, he can be given the freedom in a more advanced position to create and score goals.
Hence, he brings a lot of versatility, and physical and technical traits not many attacking players offer which is why Liverpool needs him. Liverpool has not had an attacking player of this caliber since Coutinho, so adding Dominik Szoboslai to their Arsenal will definitely be a welcome addition, something to get fans off their seat.
