Szoboszlai has proven himself at Liverpool this season and has arguably been the first name on the team-sheet for Arne Slot, alongside key stalwarts such as Virgil van Dijk and Alisson. In 33 appearances in all competitions, the Hungarian has been taken off just twice, such is his importance to the side.
The versatile midfielder has become one of the best in the league and is a massive favourite of Slot, who has used him in multiple different positions during his time at the club.
The Dutchman spoke of Szoboszlai in November, admitting comparisons with Steven Gerrard are “probably the best compliment he can get”, while he added: “I think Dom has a lot, a lot, a lot of qualities but one of them is also his work without the ball.
“And his work without the ball was… I like his work without the ball every single game and in the last two games [vs Aston Villa and Real Madrid at the time] that was probably even above his own standards.”
Liverpool will hope a breakthrough can be made in contract negotiations with Szoboszlai soon, but for now, their focus will be locked on a huge clash with Manchester City at Anfield next weekend.
