He thinks he can match anyone and the crowd appreciate the work rate and application.”Dominik Szoboszlai became Liverpool’s best playerThis is not the first time the Hungarian has come in for high praise in the 2025/26 season.Jamie Carragher said last month that Szoboszlai has been Liverpool’s best player by a ‘million miles’ this term.Steven Gerrard and Micah Richards had a very similar verdict earlier this year, with both also in agreement that the versatile midfielder has been Arne Slot’s best player in the current season.Gerrard said: “He has been Liverpool’s best player, he’s been the most consistent player.“He’s improved from last season, which is a huge bonus for Liverpool fans. He’s got everything.”In turn, it is perhaps not surprising to see that Liverpool want Szoboszlai to sign a new contract and are hoping to have a deal agreed before the start of 2026/27 amid interest from Real Madrid.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
