The young Guinean is blowing up in Germany, but we may have only scratched the surface of what's to come
RB Leipzig's record signing Naby Keita has taken the Bundesliga by storm since his arrival from Salzburg, but the 22-year-old Guinea international has set his sights on reaching a level of success on par with Lionel Messi.
The midfielder has six goals and eight assists in 23 league appearances for his new club and is attracting stares from Europe's elite.
And while Keita admits he tells himself he is “the best player on the pitch” before each match, he is taking fame in his stride and knows that true greatness is a process.
