Liverpool midfielder Keita: I want to succeed with Klopp like Mane, Salah

Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita says he'll be stronger for his first season in England.

Keita - who has recovered in time to make Guinea's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations - hopes that manager Jurgen Klopp can work his magic on him as he did with two of his African teammates.

“Klopp knows how to treat players and help them, he always talks with everyone on and off the pitch and helps them to improve," he told Goal.

"He can make you give all that you have and more on the pitch.

“People can see how he improved (Mohamed) Salah and (Sadio) Mane and I hope he can do the same with me next season.

“We won Champions League for the first time since 2005 and were competing for Premier League until the last match, so of course it was good for the team and for me to be part of this in my first season.

“Like I said before, I was adapting with the team and to football in England, so I hope I can help my team more by winning Premier League next season."
