Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk react to Szoboszlai Liverpool message
Liverpool stars have sent messages to Dominik Szoboszlai following his performance against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Liverpool thrashed Tottenham 4-0 in the second leg, overturning a 1-0 deficit from the first match to secure their place in the final.
Szoboszlai scored the third goal, putting clear distance between the sides, while Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk were also on the scoresheet.
Szoboszlai had faced Liverpool criticism from pundits earlier in the season but has since proven his worth in Arne Slot’s team.

Following the match, the Hungarian posted on Instagram with the caption: “It’s Wembley time soon”. Captain Van Dijk responded with fire emojis, while the sidelined Trent Alexander-Arnold showed his appreciation by liking the post.
Szoboszlai has been a key figure in Arne Slot’s squad, making 31 appearances, scoring five goals, and providing five assists.
He has started 16 of his 21 Premier League appearances, proving he can deliver both creativity and end product for the team.
Liverpool target Milos Kerkez has regularly interacted with Szoboszlai on social media, fuelling speculation that the Bournemouth full-back could be tempted to join his fellow Hungarian at Anfield.
Virgil van Dijk contract uncertainty adds to Liverpool concerns
Football Insider Verdict
Despite the strong camaraderie in the squad, the unresolved contracts of three key players remain a concern for Slot.
Alexander-Arnold has been linked with Real Madrid, while Van Dijk and Salah are still in negotiations over new deals with the club.
Losing any of them would be a significant blow, especially with the team in such a strong position.
The Reds currently sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand over Arsenal, have progressed to the League Cup final, and continue to challenge in Europe.
Securing these contracts will ease nerves and ensure team harmony remains intact during what could be a historic few months for the club.
