Dominik Szoboszlai has talked about the meaning behind his tattoo of Steven Gerrard and the rationale behind his choice of Liverpool’s illustrious No. 8 shirt.
Szoboszlai, who agreed a £60 million contract to join Liverpool from RB Leipzig, became Jurgen Klopp’s second summer acquisition.

The No. 8 jersey, which was primarily used by Gerrard, was given to Szoboszlai when Naby Keita departed the team.
Many Liverpool players have always looked up to Gerrard because of his achievements in Istanbul and dedication to the Merseyside club.
The late England midfielder, who is tattooed with the words, “Talent is a divine blessing, but without incredible will and humility, it is worth nothing,” on his arm, is another person for whom Szoboszlai has admiration.
At last, the 22-year-old is showcasing the full extent of his strength.
