Dominik Szoboszlai recently revealed that his choice to wear the number eight jersey for Liverpool is connected to a tattoo he acquired of Steven Gerrard before joining the club. While Naby Keita had previously donned the renowned Steven Gerrard jersey, Szoboszlai is set to take over the No. 8 shirt.

The 22-year-old, Liverpool’s most recent signing, expressed his admiration for Steven Gerrard, stating, “I have a tattoo from Steven Gerrard.” This decision aligns with the inspiration that Gerrard provides to the new players at Liverpool, particularly for his leadership, notably in Istanbul.

Szoboszlai further shared that his arm carries a tattoo with a profound message from Gerrard: “Talent is a divine blessing, but without incredible will and humility, it is worth nothing.” This serves as a primary source of inspiration for the young player.

Speaking to LFCTV after arriving at Anfield, Szoboszlai commented on donning the No. 8 jersey, downplaying it as merely a great number without any specific reason.

However, he later revealed the additional significance of having a tattoo of Steven Gerrard on his arm, showcasing the deep connection and inspiration he draws from the Liverpool legend.
