Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has been the topic of conversation recently with journalist Matt Addison sharing his thoughts on Keita’s future at the Merseyside club.
This comes after Addison recently made an appearance on the Blood Red podcast, a Liverpool based show to discuss what’s going on at the club at the moment.
On the topic of the Keita, Addison revealed that if the midfielder can stay fit, then he could become a “world-class player.”
Since signing to the Merseyside club back in 2018, the 25-year-old has struggled with his fair share of injuries that have kept him in and out of Jurgen Klopp’s squad (per Transfermarkt).
Addison also added that in regards to Keita’s future as a Liverpool player, he doesn’t think there is “any chance of him leaving anytime soon.”
Looking at how Keita is getting on in the squad now, Addison thinks that the midfielder looked “really good and really sharp” during Liverpool’s recent training match against Blackburn Rovers.
Would you start Naby Keita against Everton?
Yes
No
Addison also revealed that “the big thing for me with Naby Keita is that the squad clearly like him.”
During his time as a Liverpool player, Keita has made 51 appearances for the Reds in which he has managed to score six goals and provide two assists along the way (per Transfermarkt).
TIF Thoughts…
It’s clear that Addison has a lot of confidence and faith in Keita that he can become a pivotal figure for Liverpool in the future.
With the current Premier League season set to resume soon, Keita could use these upcoming fixtures to prove his fitness and maybe get some momentum going to show Klopp what he is capable of.
