Liverpool are close to signing RB Leipzig’s Dominik Szoboszlai as Jürgen Klopp continues his summer rebuild at Anfield.

The 22-year-old has been heavily tracked by Newcastle following an excellent season in the Bundesliga that yielded six goals and eight assists. However, Liverpool emerged as frontrunners to sign the Hungary captain following a meeting with his agents earlier this week and have now triggered his release clause of around £60m, with personal terms already agreed.
