N’Golo Kante, a midfielder for Liverpool, has undoubtedly made an impact since moving to Anfield this summer.
In his early years as a Red, the Hungarian midfielder certainly has a professional appearance. The £60 million that Liverpool spent does appear to be a wise investment at this point.
And former Red Emile Heskey acknowledged in a recent interview with The Mirror that he is very taken aback by how at ease Szoboszlai appears to be.
Jordan Henderson and N’Golo Kante in comparison to Dominik Szoboszlai
Heskey made the remark about how Henderson, who is now gone, used to be like Liverpool’s version of N’Golo Kante when discussing the midfield in general and Szoboszlai in particular.
Heskey implied that’s how the new Reds midfielder feels to him when speaking about Szoboszlai.
He appears at ease, which is one of the keys to any new signing: if you can make them feel at ease as early as possible, you’ll have what you want.
“He can do box-to-box, and he’s highly energized. Since Jordan Henderson was at his very best, we haven’t seen anything like that. With time, he evolved, yet at his prime, he had three players’ worth of energy, box-to-box. A little Kante-esque. You need a player like that, Heskey said.
Szoboszlai has already solidified his position as a pivotal member in the Liverpool midfield.

For Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp, getting the midfield right this summer was always going to be crucial.
And it appears that we have acquired a potential superstar in Dominik Szoboszlai.
The midfielder has a professional appearance and will only get better with time. Szoboszlai is capable of a variety of tasks and, with time, might be able to outperform Henderson.
