Who is Liverpool's new number 8?

Dominik Szoboszlai is a Hungarian football. He was born on October 25, 2000, in Budapest, Hungary. Szoboszlai began his career in the youth academy of the Hungarian club MTK Budapest. In 2017, he was signed by the Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg, where he quickly emerged as one of the most exciting talents in European football.

In Salzburg, Szoboszlai developed into a creative and goal-scoring midfielder. He was a key contributor to the club in both the Austrian Bundesliga and international tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
Due to his impressive performances, Szoboszlai attracted interest from several top European clubs. In January 2021, he signed a contract with RB Leipzig, which is part of the same Red Bull football network as Salzburg. In Leipzig, he played 90 matches, scoring 20 goals and providing 22 assists. At the age of 22, he is also the captain of the Hungarian national team, and that is likely one of the reasons why Liverpool has chosen to activate his release clause, as he has a significant amount of experience despite his young age.

With MacAllister and now Szoboszlai, Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool have acquired two midfielders who think offensively. Klopp has praised the Szoboszlai transfer, as he sees him as a reinforcement now and in the future, but he has also urged fans to give him time to adapt to the English playing style.
