BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has said that Liverpool attacking midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is playing like a veteran

The former Chelsea striker has said on BBC Radio 5 Live that Dominik Szoboszlai has been a very good signing for Liverpool.

Szoboszlai joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in the summer transfer window.

The youngster has already established himself as an important player in Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Szoboszlai has scored one goal in four Premier League matches for Liverpool so far this season.

Praise for Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai

Although Szoboszlai is an attacking midfielder, he does help out defensively, works very hard off the ball, and is also willing to press the opposition.

And Sutton has been impressed.

The pundit said: “Szoboszlai has just strolled into the Premier League and looks like he has been playing here for years.”

Now, just because Dominik Szoboszlai has done well in the opening weeks of the new Premier League season does not mean that Liverpool fans should get carried away.

Remember what happened with Andrey Arshavin and Arsenal?

So, let us not get carried away.

However, that does not mean that Liverpool fans should not be excited.

Szoboszlai is certainly a very good and promising young player who can only get better and improve in the coming years.

After all, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff do improve players.

The likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane were not world class when they arrived at Liverpool.

It was working under Klopp that Salah and Mane became superstars.

Szoboszlai could have the same trajectory in his career.
