The midfielder will run riot in the European tournament this season
Liverpool midfielder, Naby Keita has emerged as one of the most impressive youngsters in Europe at the moment. Such is the incredible talent of the Guinean that Jurgen Klopp was willing to wait for a year before luring him to Anfield - despite finalizing a deal with RB Leipzig for his transfer one year earlier.

Ever since he moved to the Premier League, Keita has surprised everyone with the way he has quickly settled in the team - producing spectacular performances and becoming a vital cog in Jurgen Klopp's squad within a very short period of time.
The midfielder will impress in the Champions League this season, with his incredible ability to hold on to the ball, orchestrate team play from the middle of the pitch, distribute decent passes and penetrate into offensive positions to either create chances for his teammates to score or find the back of the net himself.
