Even though he has only played in a few games for Liverpool, Dominik Szoboszlai has already cemented his place as a fan favorite, as seen by the victory over West Ham.
In celebration of midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool supporters unfurled a unique banner during the victory over West Ham United.
The 22-year-old transferred from Bundesliga team RB Leipzig to Liverpool in July after the latter club used his $73 million (£60 million/€69 million) release clause just before it was about to expire. On and off the field, Szoboszlai has already had a profound effect on Jürgen Klopp’s squad.
Due to Szoboszlai’s outstanding achievements, the Liverpool faithful have become fans. It is obvious why the Reds were so eager to get him to Anfield from his seven outings in various tournaments.
At the beginning of September, the Hungary captain scored his first goal at Anfield against Aston Villa, showcasing his superb finishing while getting on the end of a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner. With an amazing completion percentage of 85.9%, Szoboszlai, who ranks 18th in the Premier League for completed passes, has made a significant contribution to Liverpool’s midfield and helped the team’s engine room come back to life.
The contributions of Szoboszlai go beyond mere numbers. For shot-creating actions, he comes in fourth among Premier League players, while for ball recoveries, he comes in fourteenth.
His ferocity and offensive skills have given Klopp’s midfield a fresh perspective. It is understandable why he has won quite a lot of fans so rapidly.
Liverpool fans unveiled a banner on the Kop at Anfield to express their gratitude for Szoboszlai. The banner, which is decorated in the national colors of Hungary and reads “Szoboszlai, Székesfehérvár, Hungary,” not only honors the player’s accomplishments but also pays tribute to his homeland.
The banner has now been added to the collection of recognizable flags and banners that adorn the Kop and honor legends like Mohamed Salah, Steven Gerrard, and Bill Shankly. It is evidence of the difference Szoboszlai has made in such a little amount of time.
Szoboszlai has also left a lasting mark off the field. He is now the player whose shirt has sold the most this season, underscoring his appeal to supporters.
