Liverpool fans want Dominik Szoboszlai on free-kicks ahead of Trent-Alexander Arnold after training stunner

Liverpool fans are demanding that new signing Dominik Szoboszlai is placed on free-kick duties next season after seeing his stunning strike in training.

The Hungary captain has joined the Reds from RB Leipzig after Liverpool activated his £60 million release clause prior and looks like a perfect player for Jurgen Klopp's heavy-metal approach to football.

He showed his incredible running and fitness levels in the gruelling pre-season lactate test which Liverpool players partake in every year.

James Milner typically wins it but with the veteran moving on to Brighton, it was Szoboszlai and Mo Salah who emerged victorious this time around.

Szoboszlai in particular left new teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold stunned with his result.

But the 22-year-old is not merely a runner and his exceptional technique was there to see in a recent training clip. Szoboszlai produced an outrageous effort from a dead-ball situation, combining power and placement to see the ball fly into the top corner.

There was no wall or a goalkeeper in net but it's unlikely they would have got anywhere near it. Cody Gakpo liked what he see and so too did the Liverpool fans, who think Alexander-Arnold might have to take a backseat on free-kicks.

One fan wrote: "Trent I love you but I’m afraid you are gonna have to cough up the FK’s, this guys [sic] a joke."

A second said: "Might be over for Trent you know. If it isn't Salah rolling it back to him I want Szoboszlai or Mac Allister taking free kicks."

A third concurred: "Yeah, no, Trent lad I’m sorry you ain’t on free kicks anymore.

Another commented: ""Tears we finally have a free kick master, Trent’s great but I can see Szob scoring 3/4 a season."

A fifth stated: "Move over @TrentAA we have a new free kick king."

A final user simply added: "Get Trent off free kicks ASAP."

Szoboszlai is also a superb penalty taker, having only missed one out of 16 taken. He typically goes to the goalkeeper's right each team but they never seem to get anywhere close to saving it.
