Boudewijn Zenden has identified Dominik Szoboszlai as a strong candidate to take over the captaincy at Liverpool. With key players departing, will Szoboszlai step up to lead the Reds?

Boudewijn Zenden has named Dominik Szoboszlai as a potential future captain for Liverpool FC, especially with Virgil van Dijk likely moving on at the end of his contract next summer. The club will need a new leader as they navigate a transitional phase, particularly with Andy Robertson also set to leave soon.

Zenden believes Szoboszlai embodies the qualities of a captain. He said, 'I can see Dominik Szoboszlai as a future Liverpool captain. He’s a player who dominates in the middle, he’s influential, and he always works really hard for the team.' Szoboszlai has already made a significant impact in his short time at Anfield, contributing goals and showcasing leadership on the pitch.

At just 25, Szoboszlai has experience as captain of the Hungarian national team, which adds to his credentials. His performances have stood out even in a challenging season for Liverpool, and he has expressed a desire to take on more responsibility.

With Mohamed Salah and Robertson leaving, and Alisson Becker's future uncertain, Liverpool is at a crossroads. Zenden's endorsement of Szoboszlai suggests that the club may already have a ready-made leader in their ranks. The question now is whether Szoboszlai can rise to the occasion and guide Liverpool through this period of change.
