Michael Owen has lauded the contributions of Dominik Szoboszlai in his ‘unbelievably’ good opening season at Liverpool.
The ex-England international pointed to the 23-year-old’s remarkable two-footedness as his crowning feature.
“I think he has done unbelievably well to start his Liverpool career. Long way to go, so far – he has had an awfully good start,” the former Red told Premier League Productions ahead of his old before the clash at Kenilworth Road.
“He has created more chances in a Liverpool shirt than anybody else – how two-footed he is, is the immediate thing that impressed me. He can run. Pass. He can shoot. He can score goals and assist.
“He has been a real good asset to Liverpool already this season. He will only get better and better as a player. Gets around the pitch. Not scared to do his defensive duties. I think he is a real all-round player. He wins the ball back an awful lot as well. I have just been so impressed.”
The Hungarian international was far from impressive on the day, suffering alongside several reliable performers in a disappointing 1-1 draw against Luton Town.

What an astute summer signing
We can forgive the former RB Leipzig man for a poor outing in Bedfordshire; it’s been a one-off amongst an array of impressive showings in 2023/24.
We still can’t quite believe that no other side competed with Liverpool for his signature at what is increasingly looking like a snip at £60m.
Who could have possibly predicted that we’d replace our entire starting trio and not only improve on last year’s calamitous campaign but also be in the conversation for a potential title challenge?
Our recruitment team have struck again!
But he was really out of place against Luton..
