Dominik Szoboszlai reveals that he has a Steven Gerrard tattoo after taking his iconic No 8 shirt as new Liverpool signing says Anfield legend was a reason for him joining the club

Liverpool's new £60million signing Dominik Szoboszlai has taken the No 8 shirt previously worn with such distinction by Steven Gerrard as the former captain is one of his inspirations.

The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract – subject to a work permit – after a move from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig was wrapped up in a couple of days following the Reds triggering his release clause on Friday, hours before its expiration.

Szoboszlai will wear the shirt most recently vacated by Naby Keita, who was also signed from Leipzig, after his contract expired – but it is the most famous number eight to whom the midfielder looks up to.
