Dominik Szoboszlai lit up Anfield with a stunning strike during Liverpool's 3-1 Carabao Cup victory versus Leicester
The Hungarian has hit the ground running at Anfield since joining the club from RB Leipzig
Few could have imagined the 22-year-old would have enjoyed a start to life at Liverpool as successful as this
Jurgen Klopp will certainly not be complaining after reaping the rewards of his midfield acquisition
It hasn't taken long for Szoboszlai to make an impression on those watching him on a weekly basis, who have been left blown away
Garth Crooks was impressed after seeing Szoboszlai come close to scoring in the 3-1 victory at the expense of Bournemouth in August
Crooks said:
"He can certainly play. Liverpool’s new signing Szoboszlai showed all the touches of a good player against Bournemouth and looks like he wants to be constantly involved in the play.
"Well, if he's going to wear Liverpool's number eight shirt, someone at Anfield had better tell him what that means and who has worn that shirt before him.
"Sammy Lee, Brian Hall, Jimmy Case and Steven Gerrard, who immortalised the jersey, have all worn that shirt with distinction.
Szoboszlai needs to know he has big shoes to fill and a heart to match."

:He’s an outstanding footballer,"
"When you think about all-round game, athletically he looks an absolute beast of a player when he runs past players, he’s got that second, third, fourth gear to ease past and execute a pass."
Souness said:
"I like Szoboszlai and I am a big fan of Mac Allister. With (Wataru) Endo, we will wait and see.
Getting good reviews playing in the Bundesliga doesn't mean you will be a success in the Premier League, which is very demanding and the intensity is greater there than anywhere else. Let's see how he deals with that.
"When you looked at the age, it was not rocket science [it was going to end badly]. They were at an age where you should have been watching it very closely.
"They have done it now and I think Mac Allister and Szoboszlai are going to be stars for Liverpool, but I would still like them to have an out-and-out top-class holding midfielder."
Merson said:
"The Premier League is back after what felt like one of the longest international breaks in history!
"The 2023-24 campaign may just be four game weeks old, but we've already seen a fair share of action and unexpected results, while a handful of new signings have laid down the marker for what's to come.
"Szoboszlai has been the pick of the bunch, for me. I hadn't seen much of the lad while he was at RB Leipzig but I have to say I've been so impressed by him, he hasn't had a bad game yet!
"He scored a worldie the other day and does a bit of everything, he's going to be phenomenal for Liverpool in the coming years."
Micah Richards
"Szoboszlai is a good player, I just don’t know if he can deal with the pace of the league,"
"I think he’s going to be a slow burner.”
