Liverpool move hailed as 'extremely good transfer' by Germany breakout star Niclas Füllkrug

Werder Bremen striker Niclas Füllkrug has praised the club's move for Naby Keita following his exit from Liverpool.

Keita's free transfer to Bremen sees him return to the Bundesliga after five years at Anfield. The midfielder arrived on Merseyside from RB Leipzig for £52.75m in 2018 but saw his time with the Reds blighted by injury despite winning everything possible with the club.

Keita will play his football at the Weserstadion for the 2023-24 season after leaving Liverpool upon the expiry of his contract. It has been claimed that he has taken a pay cut to join Ole Werner's side.
