Liverpool's Keita could be one of the best players in Premier League – Saunders

Former Liverpool forward Dean Saunders has tipped Naby Keita to be one of the Premier League's stars in the future.

Keita moved to England from RB Leipzig last summer but his debut campaign was marred by injuries.

Although he played 22 matches in all competitions last term, the combative midfielder managed to show a glimpse of his marshaling displays in the middle of the park.

Saunders believes the 24-year-old has the qualities to establish his presence in Jurgen Klopp's team in the 2019-20 season.

“Keita looked to me as if he could be one of the best players in the league at some point in the future,” Saunders told talkSPORT.
