#3 His idol from Africa is Yaya Toure
Keita dreams to become one of the best in the world and it is this attitude of his that has helped him grow as a player.
“I want to be the best African footballer,” he declared. The Guinean also admitted to idolising one the greatest African and Premier League midfielders of all time - Yaya Toure
“My idol from Africa is Yaya Toure... he's strong, works hard and has made it to the very top.”
Toure has made a name for himself as a goalscoring midfielder and Keita can follow in his idol’s footsteps. Last season, the diminutive midfielder scored eight goals and provided seven assists in the Bundesliga. The season before that, he found the back of the net 12 times and assisted seven more for Salzburg.
Given his age and attitude, Keita can go on to eclipse his idol.
