Remember the (slightly-difficult-to-spell) name
Rightly so, big things are expected of Dominik Szoboszlai.
Just 19 years of age, the Hungarian has already caught the eye of some of Europe’s top clubs in his time with Red Bull Salzburg, with Arsenal amongst those credited with monitoring the midfielder in recent months.
Despite speculation linking him with a move elsewhere, Szoboszlai has remained with Salzburg, who kicked off their second Champions League campaign in succession on Wednesday night.
The teenager rose to the occasion, too, drawing his side level in spectacular fashion.
Trailing to an early Lokomotiv Moscow opener, Szoboszlai was found on the corner of the Russian side’s area by a quickly taken corner.
With one touch to set himself, Szoboszlai whipped a dipping shot into the far corner of the goal.

Red Bull later took a lead through Zlatko Junuzović but eventually had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
If Szoboszlai does secure a move elsewhere in the near future, he won’t be the first impressive youngster to leave one of Red Bull’s European football clubs.
Sadio Mane, Erling Haaland and Joshua Kimmich have all passed through clubs owned by the energy drink company on their way to bigger things.
