Hugo Ekitike and Dominik Szoboszlai have been named on the shortlist for the Premier League Player of the Month award for August.
The Liverpool pair join Riccardo Calafiori, Jack Grealish, Marc Guehi, Erling Haaland, Joao Pedro and Antoine Semenyo on the eight-man list.
Arne Slot’s champions made a flawless start to the campaign, winning all three of their league games last month. Ekitike and Szoboszlai were in the starting XI for each of those victories.
The French international hit the ground running with two goals and an assist in August, quickly settling into life at Anfield following his summer move. The Hungarian, meanwhile, impressed in a new role at right-back, delivering standout displays against Newcastle United and Arsenal.
His highlight came with a stunning free-kick at Anfield that sealed the 1-0 win over the Gunners and capped Liverpool’s perfect month.
