Liverpool star’s arrival is credited with midfield duo’s form.

James Milner has been in superb form for Liverpool this season, and Georginio Wijnaldum has made a few sit up and take notice too.

The duo are both enjoying their best ever starts to the season as Liverpool players, much to Jurgen Klopp’s delight.

Former Liverpool star Jim Beglin said that he believes both players have been galvanised by the arrival of Naby Keita.

Liverpool signed Keita from RB Leipzig in the summer and the new addition has played well.

Over the past fortnight Liverpool have rotated him a bit more, with Milner and Wijnaldum playing starring roles.

It makes sense for Liverpool to play Milner and Wijnaldum when they are in this sort of form, and bring Keita in a bit more slowly.

The £47 million summer signing will eventually claim his place as a Liverpool regular, and he has so much to offer.

Competition for places can bring out the best in players, and Milner and Wijnaldum deserve credit for stepping up to the challenge.
