In reflecting on his decision to join Liverpool, here is what Szobo revealed via the club’s official website:

“Am I ready to come to the Premier League and play for Liverpool? And I said to myself, ‘Always when something big comes you never know you are ready, [so] you have to try.”

“And if I don’t try, it will always be in my mind why I didn’t go. So I just said, ‘Let’s do it, let’s see, I’m going to be ready.’”

Was his hesitation right?

Since his arrival at Liverpool, Szoboszlai has showcased not only his readiness for the Premier League but also his quality on the field. His performances have quickly endeared him to the Liverpool faithful.
