Kebe scored his first goal since March at Preston on Tuesday night and Rodgers is determined to get the best from the Mali international.

He said: "I told Jimmy at half-time on Tuesday that he was Premier League class.

"I've been lucky enough to work at three levels: club class, Premier League class and world class.

"He wasn't quite world class but he has all the attributes to be a top Premier League player.

"His pace is frightening, he can run with it and cross and as he showed, he can finish. The word for him now is consistency."
