Dominik Soboslay is officially one of the fastest Premier League players of all time, establishing himself as one of the top five sprinters since the data was compiled.It’s fair to say the Hungarian has given Liverpool a new look following his £60m move from RB Leipzig in the summer.
As part of a much-discussed overhaul, Szoboszlay did well after passing the legendary pre-season ‘milk test’ and has since helped transform Jurgen Klopp’s engine room with his energy, creativity and goalscoring ability. Like everyone else. But the 23-year-old isn’t just driven, forward and annoyingly good-looking, he’s also fast. Very fast.
The Premier League has revealed the fastest times recorded by stars in the 2023/24 season, with Szoboslai’s 36.76km/h sprint (against Wolves in September) the fourth fastest this season behind Mickey Van. De Van, Kyedosi Ogbene and Pedro Neto. reduction!Interestingly, this makes Speedy Domzales the fifth fastest player in the Premier League, although this data was collected relatively recently, in 2020/2021.
Not only does he run fast, but Soboslay also runs far. Last November, the Premier League published its 2023/2024 longest distance list, which placed the Reds eighth after 12 matchweeks (132.2km).Soboslay’s fitness confirmation is a reminder of how the Reds hope to get their star midfielder back to full fitness as quickly as possible. The former Leipzig man missed Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal due to a recurrence of the injury he picked up last month.Reports vary depending on the severity of the problem. But pessimistic reports from Soboslay’s native Hungary suggest he could miss up to four weeks to recover.
A spate of injuries this term will leave Szoboszlay out of the race for United’s first title of the season ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley on February 25.
