The strength of his performances, plus a couple of stunning goals, has already forced Szoboszlai to play down early comparisons to club legend Steven Gerrard. Even so, Liverpool supporters will hope that the Hungary captain - who was recently compared to prime Lionel Messi by one of his international team-mates - is at Anfield for the long-term.
