Jurgen Klopp believes there is “a lot more to come” from Naby Keita after seeing a £48 million ($62m) signing show signs of promise during Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
Big things were expected from the 24-year-old when he arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2018 following a protracted transfer saga.
Those on Merseyside had seen a deal with RB Leipzig agreed almost a year before a big-money recruit joined the ranks.
Keita was considered to be an ideal addition to Klopp’s squad, with the Guinea international boasting both combative qualities and ball-playing ability.
