Ibrahima Konate has applauded Liverpool’s decision to sign Dominik Szoboszlai, with the defender reuniting with his former RB Leipzig teammate.

Speaking to the club’s official website, the French international was full of praise for Liverpool’s £60m deal to bring the versatile playmaker to Merseyside, with Konate also pleased for Szoboszlai for winning the biggest transfer of his career so far.

With the Hungarian taking the legendary no, 8 shirt, expectations are already high for Szoboszlai to deliver. Yet the overall mood in the Liverpool camp is that the winger will be a welcome addition to the squad and a player who can feature for the Reds for many years to come.

Indeed, Szoboszlai has the potential to become a world-class player for Liverpool. And Konate is pleased that his former Bundesliga teammate will now be given the chance to showcase his talents for one of the biggest clubs in all of football.

Konate said on Szoboszlai signing for Liverpool this summer: “I’m very happy for him and now I think he understands it’s a very, very big club. I think his life changed just when he signed for Liverpool. I’m happy for him to be here.”

Supportive teammates are a sure-fire way for a new player to feel settled in an unfamiliar environment. And Konate can provide just that for Szoboszlai in his first season of Premier League football and as Liverpool’s new superstar.

As we know, Szoboszlai arrived this summer for a huge transfer fee, and expectations will be high for the winger to deliver in the famous red kit. Meaning having a strong relationship with his new teammates will be huge in the Hungarian hitting the ground running.
