Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai reveals everyone has been saying his name wrong
Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai is on track to become a household name, so we should probably all be able to pronounce it right.
The Hungary captain has made an impressive start since he joined the Reds in a £60million move from RB Leipzig this summer.
Szoboszlai enjoyed a fruitful international break, drinking a shot after his masterclass secured Hungary's qualification for Euro 2024.
The 23-year-old scored two goals and providing an assist in games against Bulgaria and Montenegro to get his country over the line.
He didn't take long to thrill Liverpool supporters upon his arrival by expressing his love for local hero Gerrard, and taking his no.8 shirt.
Szoboszlai has since played more minutes than any other outfield player at his club this season.

Asked if Szoboszlai had settled quicker than expected in September, Klopp said: "It’s so long ago that he’s here that I’ve forgotten what I thought but since the first minute of training it was pretty impressive.
"That’s how it is. He’s a top bloke, a top guy and it’s easy to step into the team and the dressing room and stuff like this.
"He’s a very naturally confident boy and that helps but it’s super hard work as well and that’s what you see today."
But now that his name has been regularly spoken around England, the man himself made sure that fans have been saying it right.
