Liverpool revamped their midfield in the summer after the departures of some key men, including Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Whilst a lot of the talk was about dreaming and wanting Jude Bellingham. Many Liverpool fans were realistic enough to understand that simply wasn’t going to happen.
But one transfer deal that did get them off their seats and put a smile on their face was the £70 million deal for midfielder, Dominik Szoboszlai.
The 23-year-old has made quite the start to life at Liverpool, but not for Rio Ferdinand, who thinks ‘everyone is hyping him’, as he told Vibe with Five.
The all-round midfield player can be trusted as a number six or a number eight. The ball-carrying ability of Dominik Szoboszlai is outstanding.
During the first few months of his time at Anfield, he was nearly faultless, although he has gone through a little blip of late and is now injured.
Despite all of that, Rio Ferdinand suggested that he is being overrated by the Liverpool fans.
Dominik Szoboszlai being overhyped?
“Everyone is hyping him, but I don’t think Dominik Szoboszlai has done (as well as people make out),” said Ferdinand.
“Oh, he’s the next Gerrard! I haven’t seen that yet. I see bare of their (Liverpool fans) comments. But one of my mates in my group always says it.
“But he is easy on the eye.”
Dominik Szoboszlai is a game-changer for Liverpool
In years to come, this is a transfer that will prove to be even better and someone like Ferdinand might just have egg on his face.
There is an all-action nature to Szoboszlai’s play and it suits Jurgen Klopp down to the bone.
It has to be said that he did look fatigued over the festive period, but he will come good and showcase his worth again when he returns from injury.
And with Liverpool sitting top of the Premier League table, if they are to win the title again, then someone like Szoboszlai and his form is going to be absolutely crucial in the middle of the park.
