Mohamed Salah singled out Dominik Szoboszlai as one of the best players in the world after Liverpool’s 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Brighton.
Liverpool progressed comfortably on the night, but Salah made it clear that the performance of his Hungarian teammate was central to the result.
Speaking after the match, he underlined just how important Szoboszlai has become to the team’s ambitions this season.

Reflecting on the 3-0 FA Cup victory over Brighton, Salah focused heavily on Szoboszlai’s influence. Salah told TNT Sports that Szoboszlai’s form is shaping Liverpool’s season.
“It’s a very important win for us. It gives us confidence for the upcoming games. I think a cup run depends on his [Szoboszlai’s] performances.
“We rely on him so much. This season he is one of the best players in the world,” Salah said.
The comments underline how highly Salah rates his teammate. Describing Szoboszlai as one of the best players in the world is not casual praise, particularly from someone who has operated at the top level for years.
It also reinforces how central the midfielder has become to Liverpool’s rhythm and attacking balance.

That brief statement carried intent. Liverpool’s season will ultimately be judged on honours, not just performances, and Salah’s focus remains fixed on lifting silverware.
If Szoboszlai continues performing at the level Salah believes he is capable of, Liverpool’s hopes in the FA Cup and beyond will only strengthen.
