Liverpool sign RB Leipzig's Dominik Szoboszlai

<p>

Liverpool have secured the signing of RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, subject to a work permit, in a £60million transfer. </p>

<p>

Planet Sport understands the 22-year-old Hungary international has signed a five-year contract with the Reds. </p>

<p>

Szoboszlai is the second of Liverpool's summer signings to reinforce their midfield, following the £35m arrival of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, with Jurgen Klopp viewing the former Red Bull Salzburg star as a similar multi-functional player who offers tactical flexibility. </p>

<p>

With Liverpool having spoken to the player's representatives earlier this week, the move advanced quickly with a release clause expiring on Friday which the Reds triggered at the last minute. </p>

<p>

Szoboszlai was seen as a more viable alternative to Chelsea's Mason Mount, whom they were interested in as he entered the final 12 months of his contract but had proved to be a more expensive option which involved less straightforward negotiations. </p>
