Gabriel Agbonlahor in surprise says nobody notice just how fast 22-year-old Liverpool player is
Gabriel Agbonlahor has claimed that Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai’s pace goes under the radar.
Agbonlahor has been speaking on talkSPORT and suggested Szoboszlai has been one of the signings of the summer so far.
Szoboszlai was snapped up from RB Leipzig for a fee worth £60 million over the summer and the midfielder has made quite the impact so far.
The 22-year-old has starred for Liverpool in the middle of the park and even earned comparisons to Steven Gerrard.
He’s netted two goals in his first 11 appearances this season but his range of passing and work-rate off the ball has caught the eye in particular. But Agbonlahor feels there is another strength in Szoboszlai’s game that goes under the radar.
According to Agbonlahor, Szoboszlai’s speed is overlooked
Speaking to talkSPORT, Agbonlahor gave Szoboszlai an A grade for his performances in a Liverpool shirt so far.
The expert believes that people do not understand how fast the Hungarian midfielder is.
“I’ll give him an A, too,” he said. – I like what he does in midfield, he wants to get to the ball. “He’s faster than people think, he’s shown that this season – one of the fastest players in the Premier League.”
Szoboszlai seems to have it all and Agbonlahor points out that his pace often goes under the radar.
The midfielder’s passing and playmaking qualities have earned him acclaim so far. But his pace and athleticism suit Jürgen Klopp’s requirements well.
Szoboszlai feels the best is yet to come and Liverpool fans are undoubtedly excited by his potential.
At just 22, Szoboszlai has easily adapted to Premier League football and looks set to be a mainstay in Liverpool’s midfield for years to come.
