Liverpool Szoboszlai succession plan takes shape after Arne Slot criticism
Ahead of Liverpool’s opening Champions League game of the season, at San Siro against AC Milan, Arne Slot requested that Dominik Szoboszlai get his numbers up.
While the Hungary captain works hard in midfield and stitches together his team’s play effectively, it’s been a criticism levelled against him throughout his time at the club.

Szoboszlai cost £60 million when signing for the Reds from RB Leipzig in 2023 but hasn’t been able to put up the goals and assists that many would expect from an attacking midfielder who cost that much money.
The 23-year-old has only been credited with eight goals and seven assists since arriving at the club, although he did manage a goal in the Milan game in question.
However it’s now emerged that Liverpool are looking for an alternative solution in attacking midfield with Crystal Palace’s No.10 Eberechi Eze named as a target in a new report.
Liverpool want Eze for attacking midfield role
The England man played 90 minutes against Liverpool for Palace last weekend as Diogo Jota’s goal decided the tie in the Merseysiders’ favour. Szoboszlai was rested for the occasion but came on at half-time due to an injury scare suffered by Alexis Mac Allister.
Capable of playing on the left wing, Eze has mostly starred in a central role for the Eagles under Oliver Glasner.
The South London side are struggling in the Premier League this season – without a win after seven matches – but Eze has been integral to their attacking play thus far.
Eze is their creative fulcrum and has 29 goals and 15 assists in the Premier League since signing from Queens Park Rangers in 2020.
Eberechi Eze
Now Football Insider is reporting that Liverpool have got Eze on their list of potential replacements for Szoboszlai.
The report states that Liverpool analysts see Eze as a more ‘creative’ player than Szoboszlai who has also got a better end product.
Eze, 26, signed a contract extension with Palace in November 2023 with his current terms now extending to 2027. Accordingly he wouldn’t come cheap.
Szoboszlai meanwhile is under contract with Liverpool until 2028.

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
