Liverpool had a busy summer in the transfer market, and it appears that Jurgen Klopp was successful in adding some new players that will improve the team, with one commentator particularly impressed with one purchase.
The question of “Which player has surprised you the most so far this season?” was put to Clinton Morrison during his appearance on Premier League Productions (via tbrfootball.com).
In response, the 44-year-old said, “Szoboszlai of Liverpool. He is the reason I mention him because, although I didn’t know much about him when they signed him, he has excelled in that middle. Edouard is also a strong candidate.
“He has pleasantly surprised me. I think he’s a top-tier player; I had no idea he was that excellent, but he immediately adapted to life in the midfield and was a wonderful acquisition.
Although it appears that many people, including some of our own supporters, were unaware of just how brilliant the Hungarian was when we finalised the transaction, it now appears to be an amazing steal to complete the transfer for only £60 million (source: Sky Sports).
At the beginning of the season, our No. 8 wasn’t a frequent candidate for signing of the summer, but by the end of the year, if he maintains his strong start on Merseyside, he may very well be in the running.
Although his Anfield career is still in its very early stages, the 22-year-old has done many things correctly if he wants to gain the love of his new supporters and garner media attention.
We can only hope that his acquisition from RB Leipzig, along with those of Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch, will be remembered as a key component of the Reds’ truly exceptional summer.
Although he may still be shocking people with his performances, it appears that the nation’s captain will soon stop shocking people because he is rapidly becoming into one of our most crucial players.
