Liverpool: Naby Keita shows off impressive skills in training
That is the verdict of former Chelsea and England midfielder Dennis Wise, who’s compared the midfielder to French World Cup winner N’Golo Kante.
Keita emerged as a top Liverpool target last summer after making waves in the Bundesliga with Leipzig.
Leipzig were unwilling to let go of the Guinea international though and would only strike a deal which would allow him to stay with them for another year.
Liverpool agreed to compromise and waited 12 months before welcoming Keita to Anfield ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

"He has hardly had any training, he has just come back from the World Cup, and you see that and think you can do a lot more for the club.
"He has everything you could want from a midfielder, he is a better version of Patrick Vieira."
Keita and Pogba could go head-to-head when Liverpool host United on December 15.
The reverse fixture is scheduled to take place at Old Trafford on February 23.
