Liverpool officially announce that Szoboszlai will be the new owner of the No. 8 jersey.
Szoboszlai told the reporters on choosing number 8:
“I have a tattoo from Steven Gerrard. That was a reason why. When I was a child, to be honest I didn’t watch that much football, but when it was Champions League, I watched and he was one of the biggest.”
Dominik Szoboszlai has a tattoo on his forearm, a quote made by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard:
"Talent is a divine blessing, but without incredible will and humility, it is worth nothing,"
Which can be read on Szoboszlai's arm in Hungarian.
Liverpool's No. 8 players (since season 92/93):
Dominik Szoboszlai
Naby Keita (18/19-22/23)
Steven Gerrard (04/05-14/15)
Emile Heskey (99/00-03/04)
Øyvind Leonhardsen (97/98-98/99)
Stan Collymore (95/96-96/97)
Paul Stewart (92/93-93/94)

"Looks like Szoboszlai has not only inherited the No. 8 jersey but also a piece of Liverpool's rich history with that tattoo. It's a fitting tribute to Steven Gerrard, a true legend of the club. Let's hope Szoboszlai can channel the same talent, will, and humility as he takes on this iconic number. Maybe he'll even create some divine moments of his own on the pitch. Exciting times ahead for Liverpool and their new No. 8!"
