Dominik Szoboszlai has debuted a brand new hairstyle during Liverpool’s defeat at Wolves.

The Liverpool midfielder geared up for Tuesday’s Premier League clash at Molineux, which saw the Reds fall to a shock 2-1 defeat, where he unveiled his surprise new look.

The Hungarian garnered a stare or two when he arrived at Wolves’ home sporting a fresh set of corn rows.

Szoboszlai has done away with his trademark flowing locks and replaced them with a new braided look.

The design, a traditional African and Caribbean style, was famously used by David Beckham during a meet and greet with Nelson Mandela in 2003.

More recently Antoine Griezmann has modelled the look as has Argentine World Cup winner Rodrigo De Paul.

Whilst Szoboszlai appears to approve of his Joao Pedro-style new look, the same can’t be said for everyone with fans very much split on it on social media.

One fan simply wrote: “Looks great.”

Another added: “Fresh trim before Wolves? That means business.”

A third posted: “I hope the haircut comes with a goal and assist.”

However, there were some detractors with one writing: “Well, that’s embarrassing.”

Another cheekily wrote: “Obviously dressing up as Beckham, for World Book Day.

Some Liverpool fans have even pointed to teammate Hugo Ekitike as the inspiration behind the new look with the Frenchman having previously sported corn rows.

One fan wrote: “Ekitike influence is unreal.”

Another posted: “Ekitike what have u done to our future captain.”

A final fan added: “When you roll a lot with Ekitike.”

Liverpool boss Arne Slot will hope the new hairstyle can help the midfielder put in another fine display as has been the case on multiple occasions this season.

Szoboszlai has arguably been Liverpool’s standout player this season in what has been an underwhelming campaign for the Reds so far.

He has netted ten times in all competitions – three more than talismanic forward Mohamed Salah.

His performances have seen him linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent weeks with the star having just two years left to run on his contract and a new deal yet to be thrashed out.

Hungarian national team boss Marco Rossi recently stoked the fire by claiming that the player’s dream is to one day join Real Madrid.

Rossi told Marca: “Because of the very close and direct relationship I have with Dominik Szoboszlai since he started playing football as a child, Real Madrid has always been his dream.

“I don’t know if he’ll be able to take that step, because the decision depends on him and also on his club.”

He did, however, state that the former RB Leipzig star could just as easily opt to extend his stay at Anfield.

He said: “I absolutely don’t rule out the possibility of him staying at Liverpool and renewing his contract there, especially because he’s highly valued within the club.”

However, Szoboszlai didn’t sizzle on Tuesday night with Liverpool suffering a stoppage-time defeat to the Premier League’s bottom side.

Rodrigo Gomes put the hosts in front but Liverpool responded quickly through Mohamed Salah’s goal.

But at the start of stoppage-time, Andre’s deflected effort sealed Wolves the shock victory, inflicting a major setback on Liverpool’s top four push.
