"On his forearm, Dominik Szoboszlai has a tattoo in Hungarian which reads "Talent is a divine blessing, but without incredible will and humility, it is worth nothing". Dig a little deeper and you find the quote is attributed to Steven Gerrard. When midfielder Szobozlai arrived at Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2023 for 60m, there was a reason why he took the number eight shirt that had become synonymous with Gerrard at Anfield."
"The 25-year-old has been Liverpool's main character this season, scoring his 10th goal of the season last weekend, to go with seven assists. When it was put to the 25-year-old that he was having a "Steven Gerrard season", he politely disagreed and insisted he was writing his own story. Only forward Hugo Ekitike has more goal involvements and captain Virgil van Dijk has played more minutes than Szoboszlai for Liverpool this term."
Dominik Szoboszlai carries a Hungarian tattoo quoting "Talent is a divine blessing..." attributed to Steven Gerrard and chose Liverpool's iconic number eight after joining from RB Leipzig for £60m in 2023. The 25-year-old has delivered ten goals and seven assists this season, emerging as the team's main figure in a turbulent campaign. Szoboszlai has scored from free-kicks and operated in multiple positions, including right-back, while increasing his consistency and output. Only Hugo Ekitike has more goal involvements and only Virgil van Dijk has more minutes for Liverpool this term. Contract renewal negotiations loom with just over two years left on his deal.
