Naby Keita has taken the Bundesliga by storm since he joined RB Leipzig from RB Salzburg back in June 2016. And the midfielder, who will make the switch to Liverpool this summer, will only get better according to his teammate Timo Werner.


Werner says he thinks Keita has the potential to be a world-class player and that the 23-year-old midfielder reminds him of Barcelona's legendary midfielder Andres Iniesta.

"Naby will be a world-class player because he has everything. I think he's a bit like Andres Iniesta, the same type of player, because he can dribble, shoot and score. He has a lot of qualities that the young Iniesta had," Werner told FourFourTwo.

"I don't Naby will get worse. He will only get better," he added.

Keita has made 33 appearances and scored eight goals for RB Leipzig this season.
