Ian Wright says he’s completely changed his mind about £60m Liverpool player

To a man, Liverpool have been absolutely brilliant this season.

Indeed, the Reds are top of the Premier League for a reason, and the title race looks like it’s over at this point.

Liverpool are champions-elect, and every player🃏 in the squad has been pretty much at the top of their game this season.

Mohamed Salah is in Ballon d’Or winning form, while Ryan Gravenberch has been transformed this season.

Certain players haven’t shined as brightly at times this season. For example, earlier in this campaign, Ian Wright questioned Dominik Szoboszlai, 📖stating that he didn’t understand him much as a playe꧃r.

However, speaking on the Wrighty’s House Podcast, the pundit has now set the record straight on Szoboszlai, claiming that he does now understand the Hungarian’s role in the Liverpool team and thinks he is brilliant.

Ian Wright changes his mind on Dominik Szoboszlai

Wright spoke about Szoboszlai.

The pundit says t𓃲hat two months ago he didn’t understand Szoboszlai all that much as a player, but now, he can see 🙈that he’s a top player.

This came after 🙈a stellar performance from the man against Manchester City.

“Szoboszlai has had a re꧅ally good season as well,” Wright said.

“I remember not even, I’d say two months ago I was saying, I can’t see it, I don’t know what he’s doing at💯 the moment. I don’t know what he does right now. But then you look at him now, you see, bro, that’s an eight and a half, isn’t he? He’s brilliant.”

At times, Szoboszlai is a player who is hard to deciphe🔯r.

Indeed, Szoboszlai came to Liverpool last summer with a highlight reel behind him that made him look l𓃲ike he may be the next Philppe Coutinho.

However, Szoboszlai isn’t quite that pl🧔ayer. He does have the ✨ability to produce the spectacular, but his game is about a lot more than that.

Indeed, Szobos🍌zlai is all about energy, intensity and creativity, and that was on show against City at the weekend.

Szoboszlai’s non-stop running and clever movement tied City in knot💃s, and that was shown in his stats.

Szoboszlai put in arguably hi👍s best performance yet for Liverpool against City, and if he can keep that up from now until the end of the season, who knows? Perhaps the Reds could win the treble in Arne Slot’s first season at the club.
