Dominik Szoboszlai‘s career so far has taken him from Hungary to Austria, Germany and England. Here David Lynch speaks to the Liverpool FC No.8’s former coaches in an exclusive look at the impressive story – so far!. Perhaps because he was so enamoured by it, it is Jesse Marsch who best sums up the sense given by so many of Szoboszlai’s former coaches that he has always been in possession of a confidence bordering on arrogance. The American coach has fond memories of his first meeting with 18-year-old ‘Szobo’ following his appointment as Red Bull Salzburg boss in 2019, and…
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has emphatically answered rumours that he has a Steven Gerrard tattoo. The Reds new No.8 has been relentlessly compared to Gerrard since arriving on Merseyside this summer. And with good reason too, there’s more than a little of Liverpool’s captain fantastic in the Hungarian’s game. And now, while taking part in a ‘Hot or Not?’ challenge for Liverpool’s official YouTube channel, Szoboszlai has confirmed that he has a permanent reminder of Stevie G on his arm. Answering, ‘Hot’ to what his views are on body-art, Szoboszlai displayed the ink on his left forearm to Diogo Jota…
Dominik Szoboszlai was a player coaches knew was destined for a “big future” and for Jesse Marsch, the Hungarian’s combination of “belief,” “commitment” and “talent” set him apart. At just 22, Liverpool’s No. 8 has already amassed 227 senior club appearances and 34 caps for his country, the latter of whom he now leads as captain. It was only four years ago that Marsch, former Leeds manager, was appointed as the head coach of Red Bull Salzburg, a club Szoboszlai joined only a year previous. The midfielder was only 18 when Marsch arrived in Austria and had 20 Salzburg appearances to his name,…

Despite Jurgen Klopp’s admission back in May that Liverpool were in the market for a new centre-back, the Reds ultimately failed to strengthen the position this summer. “We look in all departments apart from goalkeeper at the moment,” said the German at time. “Yes, if there is a good one (centre-back) out there, I would not deny it. That’s all. We look at all areas of the pitch, definitely.” Ultimately, Liverpool decided to focus on further strengthening their midfield instead. There had been interest in the likes of Levi Colwill and Micky van den Ven, only to see the former…
Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips has emerged as a target again for Tottenham Hotspur heading into the January transfer window. According to a report by Football Transfers, Kalvin Phillips is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The outlet has suggested that the North London giants were also keen on signing the English international in the summer transfer window.

Only 13 players have scored on their Liverpool debut in the 21st century, with Darwin Nunez the latest inductee to an illustrious list. But if not for the much-maligned El Hadji Diouf, there could have been another. It was the League Cup fourth round at Anfield and Gerard Houllier had named a much-changed side to face Championship side Ipswich Town, as eight players came into the starting XI from the team that had lost at home to Manchester United days earlier. Diouf was one such player. A £10m summer signing from Lens, brought in to essentially replace the legendary Robbie…

And that’s very much what our chief LFC writer Ian Doyle did on his latest live Q&A on the ECHO’s website. A range of topics were covered, from the latest on the future of Mohamed Salah to the latest developments on the Anfield Road extension. And on the back of Howard Webb breaking his silence on the shambolic VAR decision to rule out a perfectly good Luis Diaz goal in the Reds’ controversial defeat at Tottenham Hotspur,…
Saudi Pro League director Michael Emenalo has admitted that Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is a ‘personal favourite’ of his. The former Nigeria international was installed as the Saudi’s director of football in July, as they embarked on an unprecedented recruitment drive. Ultimately, Salah ended up being a big part of that drive, as Al Ittihad made a late push to sign him from Liverpool. The Reds stood firm though, with Mo staying and continuing his superb start to the season on Merseyside. But the feeling is that this will just be temporary reprieve for Liverpool. The Saudis are bound to come again. And in quotes from…
