Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai is ‘irreplaceable’ at Anfield and ‘should be in the discussion for signing of the season’ as journalist Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT the Hungarian’s performances could spell the end of a teammate’s Reds career.
Having seen Fabinho and Jordan Henderson take advantage of the riches on offer in Saudi Arabia by sealing switches worth £40million and £13million respectively, Jurgen Klopp was forced to dip into the transfer market to reshape his midfield during the summer window. Szoboszlai was among the recruits as Liverpool parted with in the region of £150million ahead of the September deadline, and it has already proven to be money well spent.
Szoboszlai form shows transfer blow was blessing in disguise The 23-year-old will go into Sunday’s clash with newly-promoted Luton Town having failed to miss a single minute of the Premier League season, while the Reds will feel they dodged a bullet after turning their attentions towards him due to missing out on their initial target. Liverpool chief Klopp went into the summer having identified the acquisition of Mason Mount as a priority, but he was forced to reassess his options after the England international joined arch-rivals Manchester United in a £60million deal having earmarked a switch to Old Trafford as his preference.
But the Chelsea academy graduate has struggled in his new surroundings, with injuries and a lack of form limiting him to just seven starts in all competitions, while Szoboszlai has flourished since arriving on Merseyside.
Szoboszlai has proven to be a smart move as he has made an instant impact in his new surroundings.
The Reds acquired the central midfielder after activating the £60million release clause written into his RB Leipzig contract.
Respected journalist Dean Jones believes Szoboszlai’s performances may have made a teammate surplus to requirements.
Liverpool succeeded in luring Szoboszlai away from Bundesliga giants RB Leipzig by activating his £60million release clause, according to MailOnline, and he has gone on to make himself one of the first names on the team sheet.
