Daniel Sturridge praises Naby Keita

Daniel Sturridge had nothing but praise for Liverpool’s new signing Naby Keita following his performances in the pre-season matches. Keita joined the club from RB Leipzig at a fee of ÂŁ52.75 million. The pre-season matches saw Keita and Sturridge forming a pretty decent partnership on the field.

Sturridge said, “I love that guy. I’m surprised how good he is actually, if I’m honest. I knew he was good but I don’t watch German football too often.”

“I haven’t seen a midfielder like him for a while, he is something different. It’s crazy. The things he can do with the ball – he can defend, he can pass, he can dribble, he is fast, he is strong. He has got everything. I’m excited to see what he does in the Premier League and the Champions League.”

“I sit next to him in the changing room and we have a lot of banter; my French is terrible but I try my best. His English is OK. We share some good times and have a lot of laughs together. I like him a lot, he’s a good guy.”

Sturridge’s partnership with Keita gives the former some hope that he still has a future at Anfield. Liverpool’s pre-season matches will resume on Thursday when they will be up against Manchester City at the International Champions Cup.
