Szoboszlai sets out preferred Liverpool role; explains number choice

Dominik Szoboszlai says he’s happy to play anywhere for new club Liverpool.

The Hungary midfielder signed for the Reds on Sunday from RB Leipzig.

On his favoured position, he said: “To be honest, for me it doesn’t matter – I want to be on the pitch. But of course everybody has their own position. Of course, attacking midfielder as a 10, I can play on both 10s, left, right, on the sides also. Just I want to play.

“I’m a player who can play box to box; quite fast but not the fastest as I see the players here. I have quite a good shot. But I’m not only me, it’s the team, so I’m looking forward [to that].

“The last three or four days went really long; it was not that easy. But at the end I’m here, I’m happy and I can’t wait to get started.”

Szoboszlai will take the No8 shirt and also said: “Not a special reason but of course it’s a great number, a lot of great players had this number. And also I have a tattoo from Steven Gerrard, what he said – I don’t even remember when but before. It was also a reason why.”
