Liverpool hero Phil Thompson is impressed by the spiky personality of Naby Keita.

The RB Leipzig midfielder will join Liverpool at the end of this season.

"They've already strengthened with the signing of [Naby] Keita from Leipzig. I think he is absolutely terrific," said Thompson to Sky Sports.

"I was watching him against just last week in the Europa League and my goodness, this guy will probably give us what we've lacked.

"In that three behind the front three - he gives you goals, he gives you assists, he gives you energy and he's a nasty little character.

"There is only James Milner who will really put his foot in and I think this guy could be a real sensation in the Premier League."
