Dominik Szoboszlai became Liverpool FC's second signing of the 2023 summer window after sealing a move from RB Leipzig before the new season.

The Hungary captain made the switch to Anfield after two-and-a-half years in the Bundesliga at Leipzig, with whom he lifted the DFB-Pokal twice.

A versatile, attack-minded midfielder, Szoboszlai departed Germany having made 91 appearances for Die Roten Bullen in all competitions, scoring 20 goals and providing 22 assists along the way.

He hit the ground running following his arrival on Merseyside and was named Standard Chartered Player of the Month for August. 

The No.8 opened his goalscoring account for the club in stunning fashion in September with a long-range hit that put Liverpool on their way to a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa at Anfield.

Szoboszlai was on the scoresheet seven times from 45 appearances in his debut season, including a Goal of the Month winner for a powerful drive against Leicester City. 

He claimed a Carabao Cup winner's medal for playing a part in Liverpool's journey to Wembley, though ultimately missed the final with Chelsea due to injury. 

Born in Szekesfehervar, Szoboszlai began his football journey in his home country and then emerged through the youth ranks at Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg, making his fledgling steps in the professional game with their sister team, Liefering.

After 10 goals in 33 games during his maiden campaign, Dominik stepped up to senior level with Salzburg and featured regularly as they achieved league and cup doubles in 2018-19 and 2019-20.

Indeed, the midfielder's performances saw him named Austrian Bundesliga Player of the Season for 2019-20 and saw him attract the attention of Leipzig; a move was duly completed in January 2021.

An untimely adductor injury prevented Szoboszlai from debuting for Leipzig until the start of the next term, and from representing Hungary at Euro 2020, though his ascendancy soon continued.

Deployed in a variety of attacking midfield positions, he featured in 62 of RBL's 68 Bundesliga fixtures across 2021-22 and 2022-23, and was appointed his national team's captain in November 2022.

Liverpool then swooped to bring Dominik's talents to Anfield, confirming his signature in July 2023.
