The Hungarian captain’s impact on the pitch is increasingly backed by staggering statistics.
The free-kick takes his tally for this season to 4 goals and 3 assists in just 7 games so far in the Champions League.
His overall tally across all competitions has now risen to seven goals and five assists.
Beyond the numbers, it is his energy, creativity and versatility, that has made him indispensable to the Reds’ midfield engine.
Given his excellent performances, the club is reportedly moving quickly to secure his long-term future.
Liverpool are working hard to tie Szoboszlai to a new deal, despite his current contract still having several years left to run.
The hierarchy at Anfield is keen to reward the 25-year-old with improved terms that reflect his status as a key pillar of the squad.
With Europe’s elite clubs taking notice of his recent performances, Liverpool’s proactive approach signals their intent to keep the Hungarian maestro at the heart of their project for years to come.
