Liverpool completed the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig in July, triggering is €70 million release clause, on a five-year deal. The 22-year-old became the fourth most expensive signing in the Reds' history, behind Virgil van Dijk (£75 million), Alisson Becker (£65 million) and Darwin Nunez (£64 million).

Since making his debut for the Anfield club, Szoboszlai has been displaying his footballing prowess, with one goal in five games. The Hungarian midfielder has also been named Liverpool's Men's Player of the Month for August.

"Szoboszlai deserves it to be honest. I've never been so blown away by a player's start to their career at Liverpool. The shift he puts in off the ball is crazy. Stood up and clapped in my living room when he ran back from the corner to win the ball vs. Wolves," one user tweeted.

"People know that Szoboszlai could be our next midfield machine with his Gerrard-esque qualities. The fact he is a number 8 as well makes him even more special," another wrote.

Here are a few more reactions:
