Jurgen Klopp has admitted that there is more to come from summer signing Naby Keita, however, he was happy with the progress of the midfielder so far. The 23-year-old moved to Liverpool this season and started the campaign well with a couple of promising displays.
Injuries and the form of other midfielders reduced his time on the pitch, but Keita has started a few games in the previous month.
The 23-year-old did well in the 1-1 draw against Leicester and should have won a penalty. Klopp was speaking ahead of the clash against West Ham and claimed that Keita is yet to completely adjust to the environment in England (h/t Independent)
“Yeah, happy so far but still a lot to come. Naby is an outstanding player but he still has to improve; minutes, games, language, all that stuff.
“Everything will be fine, and it is fine so far, but we can really expect a lot more still, that’s how it is.”
The Guinea midfielder was a star for RB Leipzig before his move to Anfield, and we have only seen glimpses of what the 23-year-old can do.
The Reds have seen the likes of Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum star in the midfield, and Jordan Henderson has been a regular for the side too.
Klopp provides time for the players to prove their ability on the pitch, and most of his signings have worked out at Anfield.

Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are some of the big names that have grown with time at Anfield, and there is no doubt that we will see the best of the Guinea midfielder in the coming months.
