INCOMING Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has been hailed as the new Andres Iniesta by RB Leipzig team-mate and Reds transfer target Timo Werner.
The talented midfielder, 23, will officially join Jurgen Klopp’s side at the end of the season after a fee was agreed last summer.
Keita is highly regarded as one of the best young talents in European football and is sure to help Liverpool progress even further under Klopp’s guidance.
Despite securing his signature, many fans are still puzzled by Keita’s style of play after seeing him utilised in a number of different roles for Leipzig.
But Werner, who has been linked with a stunning £87million switch to Anfield, has explained that Keita’s style can be compared to that of Barcelona and Spain legend Iniesta.
He told FourFourTwo via : “Naby will be a world class player because he has everything.
“I think he’s a bit like Iniesta, the same type of player, because he can dribble, shoot and score.
