'I wouldn’t write him off' - Berger backs Liverpool's Keita to influence Premier League title race

The Guinea international has had a limited impact in his first season but the former winger still feels he can affect the Reds' championship bid

Naby Keita will come good for Liverpool and can have a tangible impact on the Premier League title race, according to Patrik Berger.

The Guinea international has endured a frustrating maiden campaign at Anfield, making just 12 top-flight starts in 2018-19.

Keita's status as a bit-part member of the Reds squad is a far cry from the fanfare which greeted confirmation of his arrival from RB Leipzig, though manager Jurgen Klopp insists the midfielder has merely been a victim of injuries and squad rotation.
