Naby Keita will have a huge season for Liverpool, going up a level in a Reds shirt.
Jurgen Klopp has tipped the 24-year-old to kick on in 2019/20, describing him as “completely different” compared to this time last year.
The manager was speaking in his pre-Norwich City press conference on Thursday, also saying Keita “expects a lot” from himself in the coming weeks and months.

Keita looks primed to enjoy a big campaign for Liverpool, having largely underwhelmed during his first year at the club.
That’s not to say that the Guinean was poor, by any means, but he never came close the matching the hype that surrounded his arrival from RB Leipzig.
With a good pre-season under his belt and more confidence in his surroundings, Keita could be one of the stars of the Premier League season.
Such were the forgettable nature of his performances last term, his stock has dropped, with many forgetting how special he is.
Keita has the talent and influence to become one of the first names on Liverpool’s team-sheet, leapfrogging the other midfielders around him.
This is his time to find another gear – it would be a shock if he didn’t, assuming he can stay injury-free.
