James Milner has hailed the performance of his teammate, Naby Keita after a standout performance in his debut Liverpool match.

The midfielder completed his move from RB Leipzig to Liverpool and play a key role in the 4-0 thumping of West Ham.

Keita was not on the scoresheet, as Salah, Mane and Sturridge gave Liverpool a commanding touch over West Ham.

“He’s a good player, you can see that straight away,” Milner told Sky Sports.

“He’s only going to get better, so to come into a new team, a new style of play, and to do so well, you can only imagine how good he’s going to be in a few months’ time with more games and more time with the boys.

“He’s a ball-winner, [with] great drive and fantastic ability as well. He’s top quality, like all the signings we’ve brought in.

“It’s more competition, which is exactly what you want. You look at some of the boys on the bench today and those who aren’t quite fit yet, it’s a great squad and exactly what we want”
