Liverpool have been handed a boost in their search for a second midfield signing of the summer, having been told that Dominik Szoboszlai prefers them over fellow suitors Newcastle United.
The club's sole signing this summer has been Alexis Mac Allister, just nine days before the first squad members are due to reconvene at the AXA Training Centre for pre-season, leading to intense speculation over anyone else will be joining him.
Szoboszlai is the latest name linked, however the Reds must act quickly to activate his due-to-expire release clause and face stiff competition from Newcastle, who hold the advantage of having Champions League football next campaign.
