Dominik Szoboszlai recently scored a sensational goal against Arsenal that will be remembered for the years to come. The transfer of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig to Liverpool was seen with immensely high expectations, and some fans even viewed Szoboszlai as the second coming of club Legend Steven Gerrard. What's making news regarding him these days is Szoboszlai's outstanding performance as right-back for Liverpool recently. He has been so impressive in his new position that fans have speculated that Jeremie Frimpong might have some work to do to get back his starting place. A bigger question now needs to be asked though, have Liverpool found an unlikely replacement for their former star player Trent Alexander Arnold? Let's find out
An exciting move from RB Leipzig to Liverpool
When it was announced that Liverpool had triggered the release clause of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig, many fans were confused regarding the huge 60 million fee that was paid for a player that was unknown to most of them. Fans proceeded to check the highlights of Szoboszlai on YouTube and from then the excitement was through the roof. What they saw was a fabulous midfielder full of flair, confidence, and a world-class ability when it came to free kicks and long-range shooting. In fact, most Liverpool fans thought they were getting a modern version of their beloved Steven Gerrard.
Whether it was in Jürgen Klopp's final season or Arne Slot' first season with Liverpool, Dominik Szoboszlai ended up performing commendably on most occasions. However, huge questions were raised if those performances met those of a player who cost them a whooping £60 million. The record breaking transfer of Florian Wirtz before the 2025-2026 Premier League season was also seen as the final nail in the coffin by many regarding Szoboszlai's place in the starting lineup.
Dominik Szoboszlai at Right Back
An injury to Jeremie Frimpong and the frequent fitness issues of Conor Bradley led Arne Slot to make a bold decision. It was to use Dominik Szoboszlai at RB, and the experiment has ended up as a masterstroke so far. The tactic was similar to how Klopp used Trent Alexander Arnold in a hybrid position where he began the game at right back and then drifted to midfield in attacking phases. With his excellence in aspects like work rate, defensive contributions, shooting skills, and passing excellence, Szoboszlai has so far been simply magnificent in his new role and finally looks like the star player Liverpool hoped him to be.
Ironically, Florian Wirtz, who many saw would kick Szoboszlai out of the starting lineup permanently, has so far struggled to adapt to the Premier League and could even be in danger of losing his spot to Szoboszlai despite his record breaking transfer fee. The redemption of Dominik Szoboszlai has been nothing less than inspirational, but is a testament to his never-give-up attitude.
