Liverpool have already signed the next Dominik Szoboszlai Liverpool may already have the next Dominik Szoboszlai emerging within their ranks. Supporters have every reason to dream of a side filled with players cut from the same cloth as the Hungarian midfielder, whose influence has quickly made him a fan favorite. Years ago, Anfield echoed with calls for a team full of Carraghers.

Today, that sentiment could easily be updated to reflect a desire for a team full of Szoboszlais. In what has otherwise been a challenging and inconsistent season, Liverpool’s number eight has stood out as a rare bright spot. Week after week, he has delivered performances of real quality, showing not only technical ability but also determination and adaptability.

Whether deployed in his natural number eight role, pushed further forward as a number ten, or even filling in at right-back, he continues to perform at a high level without missing a beat. Given his impact, it’s no surprise that Liverpool’s recruitment strategy is now focused on identifying players with similar qualities. The club is clearly aiming to rebuild its midfield with individuals who can replicate that same energy, versatility, and attacking threat - and trying to do the same at academy level as well by encouraging their own players to be more like Szoboszlai.

Interestingly, there is already one player being closely linked with Liverpool who appears to mirror many of Szoboszlai’s traits. In terms of style, movement, and overall influence on the pitch, he could prove to be a near carbon copy. Let's us introduce you to Ollie O'Connor.
