RB Leipzig's rapid start to life in the Bundesliga this season surprised even the most seasoned of German football watchers. One reason behind that was the central midfielder nicknamed 'Deco'.
Keita moved to Leipzig from Salzburg and immediately impressed.
He loves to play a chipped through ball over the defence for a rapid forward to latch on to and also has a speed of thought that means his passes outfox even the best defenders.
Four goals and six assists in his first season in the Bundesliga is not a bad record for a more deep-lying midfielder. At 22, he still has room to grow and should do so.
RB Leipzig's rapid start to Bundesliga life was due in no small part to the form of Naby Keita
