Top 5 central midfielders under the age of 25

Club Atletico de Madrid v SD Eibar - La Liga

#3. Naby Keita, 22, RB Leipzig

3rd Place Match - Audi Quattro Cup 2015
Naby Keita

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Leipzig that will see the 22-year-old at the Merseyside in the summer of 2018. Liverpool's tussle with Leipzig over Keita's signature last summer was well documented by media and the reason they fought so hard for the youngster is not so hard to guess.

Keita was a revelation in Bundesliga last season and played a huge role in Leipzig finishing second in the league to qualify for the Champions League.

Keita is a box-to-box midfielder who plays like a powertrain that never stops. He is great in attack with his brilliant passing and dribbling skills and at the same time, he is an asset in defense with his great work rate. At an age of just 22, the way he carried RB Leipzig was nothing less than astounding. He was the engine on which RB Leipzig was built and was able to achieve things no one thought would be possible for them.

Keita has every quality to be a success at Liverpool in Premier League. Liverpool will be hoping that with him they can finally end the long wait there for the Premiership title.
