Liverpool’s new signing, Dominik Szoboszlai, has quickly formed a close friendship with right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, and their rapport is proving beneficial on the field.
Szoboszlai, who was Liverpool’s most expensive summer acquisition, is already making a significant impact under Jurgen Klopp, as per The Athletic.
The Reds secured Szoboszlai with a £60 million bid just before his release clause was set to expire. With Liverpool’s midfield options depleted during the transfer window, Szoboszlai’s arrival was highly anticipated.
Since his debut against Chelsea, the young playmaker has been outstanding and has started every Premier League match this season.
The Hungarian has become fast friends with Trent Alexander-Arnold, and their partnership is evolving into one of the Premier League’s most effective passing duos.
While Alexander-Arnold is known for his precision long-range passes, Szoboszlai has shown a similar ability.
Their friendship is evident in the way they complement each other on the pitch, with Alexander-Arnold often mirroring Szoboszlai’s positioning in midfield.
The 22-year-old is known for his tireless running and the power behind his shots and passes, while Alexander-Arnold’s accuracy is remarkable.
Trent praises Szoboszlai to OX
Their strong connection is no surprise, and even Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has praised Szoboszlai, sharing that Alexander-Arnold speaks highly of him.
“Trent is always telling me how good he [Dominik Szoboszlai] is, telling me he’s got a better shot than me.”

Despite not having previous experience in a derby match, Szoboszlai showed composure during Liverpool’s recent game against Everton.
Liverpool are quietly keeping pace with the top teams in the Premier League, and the attention on North London clubs and Manchester City could work in their favor.
With players like Mohamed Salah, who can score even when not in top form, and Szoboszlai and Alexander-Arnold orchestrating the midfield, Jurgen Klopp’s team is poised to improve upon their fifth-place finish from the previous season.
