Naby Keita has admitted that although he is settling in well at Liverpool, life in the Premier League has been ‘tough’ to start with.Keita joined the Reds for £52.75m this summer, having agreed to move to Anfield from RB Leipzig 12 months ago.He has impressed in his nascent spell in England thus far, with Liverpool topping the table.Keita says that is down to a combination of being both ‘a team player’, but also doing everything possible to top his own personal records.
“I think it’s fair to say that the Premier League is a tough league,” Keita told the official Liverpool FC magazine.“I’m very motivated to be playing in it – it’s an attractive proposition – but I’ve been told by many people that a lot of overseas players come into the Premier League and they take time to integrate, depending on the circumstances.“So playing in the Premier League can be difficult, but I am very motivated to play here, not just for myself and my teammates, but for the club.
