Liverpool are making big strides in the transfer market and fans are delighted with the second arrival of the summer.
Dominik Szoboszlai has officially been unveiled as the Reds’ latest recruit and it is fair to say his signing has given supporters plenty of reason to get excited ahead of next season.
The Hungarian follows Alexis Mac Allister through the door as Jurgen Klopp continues his summer reboot of the midfield, answering longstanding calls from fans to restock the middle of the park.
Social media has been a busy place since the news broke, with supporters having their say on Liverpool’s new No. 8.
We’re expecting goals!

Thankfully someone has already taken the 8 after Gerrard so there’s slightly less pressure on Szoboszlai

Were we right to end the Bellingham pursuit?
Looks like it might be Mcallister, Szoboszlai and Thuram instead of Bellingham

Szoboszlai is potentially a Mane level signing in terms of general impact. KDB-like potential as an output machine from the midfield, which is something Liverpool lacked since basically Gerrard.
There is still work to do in other areas, but the deal itself is so lovely.

I said this from the very beginning after #LFC missed out on Bellingham.
Dominik Szoboszlai is the perfect signing for #LFC this summer. https://t.co/eVYkbfV43l

Szoboszlai and Mac Allister for a combined £95million then is it? pic.twitter.com/jHo8vwoEuC

That has all happened very quickly, hasn’t it?
Liverpool’s pursuit of Szoboszlai was first reported on Wednesday, but the Reds wasted no time in sealing the deal after triggering a £60 million release clause in the midfielder’s contract shortly before the June 30 deadline.
The midfield will look very different next season, with James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita all making way for the new arrivals.
If Szoboszlai is even half as good as a certain local hero who captained Liverpool and previously occupied the No. 8 shirt, we are in for a treat!
