And Szoboszlai just adds to that list. The creative midfielder opted for the safer, and far more secure, RB Leipzig instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The fact is, Leipzig, can offer him <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/category\/champions-league\/\" target=\"_self\">Champions League<\/a> football, a place in the top three of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/category\/bundesliga\/\" target=\"_self\">Bundesliga<\/a>, and a place in a team so full of attacking talent. Arsenal, on the other hand, cannot even guarantee that they&#8217;ll be playing any form of European football next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The decision to join Leipzig, should the transfer be completed, will pay off in the long run for Szoboszlai in a similar fashion to how <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1f44ac21\/Erling-Haland\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erling Haaland&#8217;s<\/a> move from Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund did.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Szoboszlai the RB Leipzig Signing to Close the Gap on Bayern Munich<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Having lost Timo Werner in the summer, one would assume that the goals would dry up for Julian Nagelsmann&#8217;s side, but, in truth, they haven&#8217;t. The Bundesliga side have still managed a respectable 24 goals in the league this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Though, it has to be said, the addition of a creative player such as Szoboszlai could see even more goals find the back of the net to crucially close the gap on Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen above them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"7yu3_yaUSz9oyf1SvnatZg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1230166557\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'7yu3_yaUSz9oyf1SvnatZg',sig:'fUS5goPE-jXtw1ODXsDAnICMna2GzQCat4mmoNXqC5o=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1230166557',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After months of speculation, Dominik Szoboszlai&#8217;s future is set to finally be decided.
