Liverpool may have found their Jude Bellingham alternative after transfer snub
Dominik Szoboszlai's start at Liverpool should be compared to that of the one seen by Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid, according to former LFC man Danny Murphy.
The former Borussia Dortmund man was continuously linked with a move to Merseyside this summer but instead opted to join Carlo Ancelotti's side. The Three Lions international has enjoyed a tremendous start to life at the Bernebau ever since, having recently netted twice in his side's 2-1 El Classico win over Barcelona.
But it is Hungarian international Szoboszlai who also enjoyed a similar start to life with his new club, after moving from RB Leipzig earlier this year. Beginning to find his feet as the new Reds no.8, he so far has graabbed two goals and two assists and continues to go from strength to strength.

Just one of many midfield additions seen at Anfield, Szoboszlai's wonderful ball control and eye for a killer pass have caught the attention of many pundits. Murphy himself recently admitted that comparisons between Bellingham and the 23-year-old shouldn't be overlooked.
''If it wasn’t for Jude Bellingham doing what he’s doing, I think we’d be talking a bit more about Szoboszlai,'' Murphy told The Take On podcast most recently. ''I’m saying that he has hit the ground running. Looking so good.
''And people are recognising him, but because Bellingham has gone to another planet, everything’s about Bellingham. And I know he’s in a different league, but we talk about Bellingham a lot. Szoboszlai has come in and he’s got it all. He’s a threat, he’s got good feet, he defends well''
