New candidate for Liverpool captaincy identified

Liverpool may face the task of choosing a new captain in the near future. With Virgil van Dijk aging and his contract nearing its end, the club is considering who the future leader will be. Former defender Glen Johnson believes Dominik Szoboszlai is the most suitable candidate for the role. This is reported by Goal.com .

Glen Johnson notes that the Hungarian midfielder possesses leadership qualities reminiscent of the legendary Steven Gerrard. He is recognized as a dedicated player willing to adapt his position for the team's benefit. Szoboszlai stands out for his work rate and hunger for victory on the pitch.

Virgil van Dijk took over the captain's armband in 2023, but his current contract with Liverpool has just over a year remaining. Selecting a successor for the Dutch defender, who will turn 35, is a crucial step for the club.

Szoboszlai is currently under contract until the end of the 2027-2028 season. His role at the club and his character on the pitch make him a candidate to follow in the footsteps of legends like Steven Gerrard, Ian Rush, and Graeme Souness.
