Liverpool have completed the signing of midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig in a €70m deal, subject to a work permit.
The 22-year-old Hungary international is understood to have signed a five-year contract with the Premier League club.
Szoboszlai is the second of Liverpool's summer signings to reinforce their midfield, following the €40m arrival of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, with Jurgen Klopp viewing the former Red Bull Salzburg star as a similar multi-functional player who offers tactical flexibility.
With Liverpool having spoken to the player’s representatives earlier this week, the move advanced quickly with a release clause expiring on Friday which the Reds triggered at the last minute.
Szoboszlai was seen as a more viable alternative to Chelsea’s Mason Mount, in whom they were interested as he entered the final 12 months of his contract but had proved to be a more expensive option which involved less straightforward negotiations.
"The last three or four days went really long; it was not that easy. But at the end I’m here, I’m happy and I can’t wait to get started," said Szoboszlai.
"[A] really historic club, really good players, good coach, everything is good. For me it was perfect to make the next step in a club like this.
"The fans, the stadium, everything is really good."
Tottenham have agreed personal terms with Manor Solomon over a deal to join the club on a free transfer, the PA news agency understands.
Attacker Solomon spent last season on loan at Fulham and was set to return to parent club Shakhtar Donetsk this summer.
However, FIFA in May extended its temporary employment rules relating to the war in Ukraine, which will allow Solomon to cancel his deal with Shakhtar and sign for Spurs.
Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year, foreign players contracted to clubs affiliated to Ukrainian or Russian football associations can "unilaterally suspend their employment" until 30 June, 2024, provided teams are informed of the suspension in writing by 1 July.
With Solomon’s terms with Shakhtar due to expire on 31 December, he can become a free agent now after exercising the right to suspended his current employment with the Ukraine outfit.
It opens the door for Tottenham to complete Solomon’s signing next week and make him the fourth addition since new manager Ange Postecoglou was appointed last month.
Israel international Solomon impressed during his loan with Fulham despite a serious knee injury delaying his debut until January.
When Solomon was fit, he turned into a key figure under Marco Silva and scored five goals in 24 appearances from a left wing position, but he will now continue his time in the Premier League at Spurs.
Solomon will provide competition in attacking areas at Tottenham and could face his old club Shakhtar in a friendly fixture on August 6.
