Liverpool’s Greatest No. 99: Dominik Szoboszlai

Dominik Szoboszlai has become an important figure at Liverpool since arriving from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023 as part of the club’s midfield rebuild. Known for his energy, strong work rate and powerful right foot, the Hungary international has repeatedly influenced matches with goals from distance and his ability to drive the team forward.

Szoboszlai’s move to Anfield also carried personal significance. Growing up in Hungary, he admired Steven Gerrard, and he embraced the chance to follow in his idol’s footsteps by joining Liverpool and wearing the famous No. 8 shirt. His first season under Jürgen Klopp offered an encouraging preview of his potential, as he registered 11 goal involvements in 45 appearances and helped the club win the Carabao Cup.

He made further progress in his second season, improving his output with eight goals and eight assists in 49 matches. Of those appearances, 36 came in the Premier League as Szoboszlai played a key role in Arne Slot’s title-winning midfield. His consistency, versatility and endurance made him one of Liverpool’s most reliable performers across a demanding campaign.

Liverpool secured the league championship with four games to spare, and Szoboszlai reflected on the scale of the achievement after the title was confirmed. He said the squad had worked hard throughout the season to reach that point, and he praised the collective effort behind the success. He highlighted the contribution of the players, coaching staff, supporters and the wider city, saying the moment of victory was especially meaningful when Liverpool beat Tottenham and shared the celebration together.

Szoboszlai’s rise at Liverpool has underlined both his technical quality and his growing influence in one of Europe’s biggest clubs. From a promising first season to a decisive role in a title-winning side, he has quickly established himself as a major part of Liverpool’s present and future.
