Liverpool’s midfield received a major boost with the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai, who has quickly established himself as one of the team’s fastest players. The Hungarian midfielder, signed for $73 million last summer, has brought new energy to Liverpool’s midfield and has shown he can create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Szoboszlai, who has scored two goals and assisted two this season, including a stunning goal against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup, has been compared to Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard. But it’s not just his attacking skills that make Szoboslai stand out. According to Sky Sports (via ECHO ), he clocked 36.76km/h, making him the fastest player in Liverpool’s history. That impressive pace was on display in Liverpool’s September game against Wolves, where Szoboslai got back to deny Pedro Neto’s potential counter-attack.
Stats from Opta confirm the sprint is the third fastest in the Premier League since the start of the 2020/21 season, behind Manchester City’s Kyle Walker (37.31km/h) and Luton Town’s Kyedosi Ogbene (36 .93 km/h). hour). Szoboslai’s speed of 36.53km/h surpassed that of Liverpool star Darwin Nunes, who was named the team’s fastest player last season.
Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz give Soboslay stiff competition for the award. Salah became Liverpool’s champion last season with a speed of 36.6 kilometers per hour.
The addition of Szoboszlai’s pace and dynamism to Liverpool’s midfield will add a new weapon to manager Jurgen Klopp’s attacking arsenal. His ability to quickly cover the field and contribute both defensively and offensively makes him a valuable asset to the team.
As Liverpool look to compete for major trophies this season, Szoboslai’s pace could be key in breaking down opposition defenses and creating scoring opportunities.
Dominik Szoboslai made a huge impression at Liverpool with his impressive performances and pace. As he continues to adapt and develop his game in the Premier League, Liverpool fans can look forward to some exciting performances from the new speedster next season.
