Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita says he was played out of position last season.

Keita says that he was signed by Liverpool to play in a different role to the one he featured in for former club RB Leipzig, but has backed Jurgen Klopp to make him a success in English football.

“I was a playmaker in Leipzig. I took the ball with more freedom to do what I want, playing the ball to strikers and wingers to assist or get in front of goal and score," Keita told Goal.com.

“At Liverpool, we have more attacking players like Salah, Mane and Firmino who boast great scoring numbers.

“My first year was about adapting with the team and to the Premier League. There are big differences between football in Germany and England and also between Leipzig and Liverpool, in my duties and the way of playing. I hope things will be even better next year."
