Keita is cut out to Nab headlines..

-

NABY KEITA has come from a league where the qualities needed to thrive are the same as they are here.

Physical strength, will, character and desire are huge requisites in the Bundesliga, and it’s clear already that he has all of them in abundance. He has great ability, too, and you can see he wants to influence every game.

At clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United, character carries you a long way. Look at the best players who have played for both clubs – and all of them have had it.

I expect Keita (left, celebratin­g with his new team-mates) to show the same in the coming months.

Already you can see he’s a massive upgrade on what my old club have had. Even so early in the season, Liverpool are clearly the only like-for-like threat to Manchester City in the Premier League.

Winning games, tick. Winning games with a swagger, tick. Winning games with entertainm­ent, tick.

On Sunday against West Ham, they did everything you would want your club to do in the first game of the new campaign.
