“Now you have to stop enjoying and take care of yourself,” Dominik Szoboszlai was told by his agent during his summer holiday in Croatia after news of Liverpool’s approach. The Hungarian has packed a lot into his 22 years and the moment he knew where he would be heading there was no chance he would want to arrive in England unprepared, especially when the aim is to get one over old friends.
Liverpool moved fast to sign the Hungarian from RB Leipzig, paying the £60m release clause as Jürgen Klopp looked to build a new midfield that could challenge for silverware against Manchester City, and Szoboszlai’s former colleagues Erling Haaland and Josko Gvardiol. On Sunday Szoboszlai will travel to Newcastle, who were linked with the midfielder, looking to build on Liverpool’s positive start to the campaign.
