The Hungarian midfielder has brilliant ball control and will offer tactical flexibility with his multi-functional abilities. He scored 20 goals and provided 21 assists for Leipzig in 91 appearances in all competitions. Szoboszlai will bring in that energy in midfield that Jurgen Klopp's men are lacking in recent times.
Christopher Nkunku, Chelsea
Another player from the Bundesliga, who will excite Chelsea fans in the upcoming season. The Blues have signed Christopher Nkunku for £52m from Leipzig. Nkunku can slot in multiple positions in the forward line and will offer great options for manager Mauricio Pochettino. He clocked 70 goals and 44 assists in 172 appearances for Leipzig.
