Along with Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri and Alisson Becker, Keita was one of four new signings brought to Liverpool by Klopp during the summer transfer window.
The No.8 made an instant impression in the Reds’ pre-season friendly programme, and put in an eye-catching, all-action display in his competitive debut for the club - last weekend’s 4-0 victory over West Ham United at Anfield.
At the age of just 23, Klopp expects Keita to develop further in the coming years.
Exactly how much more is to come from the Guinea international remains something of a mystery to the manager, however.
