Szabolcs Schön has become Wanderers’ fifth signing of the summer, but what can supporters expect from the Hungarian?
Schön has penned a three-year deal at the Toughsheet Community Stadium and becomes the Whites’ first addition from the European market under Ian Evatt.
The 23-year-old has represented Hungary on the international stage and also had a spell with Dallas in the MLS before heading to Fehérvár, where he featured in the Europa Conference League.
We caught up with Hungarian football expert Alex Ohári to get the lowdown on Wanderers’ new addition and what he will bring to League One.
How would you describe him as a player?
As a player, he is quick and diverse in attack and has the skill to run at defenders and into open space.
He plays a good first ball and gets into the right areas. He also has a nice goal in his locker at times.
How do you see him fitting into Wanderers’ system?
After moving to Fehérvár, he slowly adapted into more of a winger/wing-back role, which was deeper than how he was previously deployed at MTK and Dallas.
He adjusted rather well as his pace and ability to get down the wings with the ball made him a progressive player in that regard.
Defensively, he is still a bit of a work in progress but has made good strides and continues to improve.
He is strictly a left flank player and can reliably play as a wide forward, winger or wing-back, so he has some diversity.
Was he expected to move clubs this summer?
I was quite surprised when I saw the news although Bolton, despite being a third tier club, is still a jump up from the Hungarian league and should be an ambitious move for his career.
We expected big things from him but he hasn’t quite been able to reach that level yet.
Going to Dallas hurt his career path and development, and he is still recovering from that, but there is no doubt he is a talented player.
