Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has, on Thursday, joined the chorus of praise for a headline member of the midfield setup at Liverpool.

With the Reds locked at a goal apiece in a Carabao Cup meeting with Leicester City, Szoboszlai conjured up a moment of magic to put Jurgen Klopp’s troops ahead, and on their way to the 4th round.

Ex-midfielder Merson has already revealed his admiration for the Hungarian, in labelling him the signing of the summer in the Premier League.
And, on Thursday, he doubled down, hailing Szoboszlai an ‘absolutely outstanding’ talent, before questioning why Liverpool did not face more competition for his signature
“Dominik Szoboszlai has been absolutely outstanding, how has everybody else missed out on him?”
