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.
Questions have been asked of his value and role in the side, but a promising performance was put in on his most recent outing to suggest that his potential may finally have been unlocked.
Klopp told the Reds’ official website when quizzed on Keita changing opinions: “You need a good performance.
“The second half against West Ham was good, the first half wasn’t that good but the second half was really good. If you fall into a little hole you have to make sure you get out by yourself. That’s what he did in the second half at West Ham and it was clear this game would be the next step for him.
“It was really nice to see that game and see how the people appreciate it.
“He is in a lot of situations, passing these little balls through a really tight midfield. It’s just good. And there’s a lot more to come. That was a good one.”
Keita is still waiting on his first goal for Liverpool. (Goal)
