LEIP FORWARD

Szobo has had a slow start under Slot but hopes return to Germany will get him flying

- CHRIS MCKENNA

DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI tonight returns to the city and club that 'made' him, aware that it is time he made an impact under Arne Slot.

The Hungary captain arrived at Liverpool as one of Jurgen Klopp's final signings just over 12 months ago in a deal worth £60million.

His early performances even triggered comparisons with Anfield legend Steven Gerrard.

But Szoboszlai, who will turn 24 on Friday, is struggling to adapt to the demands of Klopp's successor in the Kop dugout.

He has started seven out of eight games in the Premier League and two out of two in Europe ahead of tonight's Champions League clash with his former club RB Leipzig, but has not yet recaptured that early Anfield form.
