# Blow for Liverpool as Dominik Szoboszlai set to join RB Leipzig

Liverpool and Arsenal have both suffered a huge blow, with Dominik Szoboszlai set to join RB Leipzig in the January transfer window.

That’s according to *[Sky Germany](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/12157991/dominik-szoboszlai-arsenal-target-decides-to-join-rb-leipzig)*, who claim the RB Salzburg youngster has made up his mind on his next club.

Liverpool have been [linked](https://readliverpoolfc.com/?p=108220) with Szoboszlai in recent weeks, but nothing concrete has been reported.

Arsenal have also [reportedly](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/12157243/dominik-szoboszlai-arsenal-rb-leipzig-bayern-munich-real-madrid-wait-for-salzburg-attackers-transfer-decision) been eyeing up the Hungarian star, but the forward is seemingly on his way to Germany to join Salzburg’s sister club.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Szoboszlai looks one of the most exciting young players in European football at the moment, [scoring 25 goals and registering 33 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominik-szoboszlai/alletore/spieler/451276) in 80 appearances for Salzburg.

He also recently scored a [dramatic last-gasp goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUuax-kGlBo) to send Hungary into Euro 2020 at the expense of Iceland, outlining his influence at international level, too.

This news is, therefore, a negative from a Liverpool perspective, with Szoboszlai someone who could have been a hugely exciting long-term addition at Anfield.

His technical ability and work-rate could have been a match made in heaven for Jurgen Klopp, but that ship looks to have sailed, for the time being at least.
