He was playing as SS, almost a counter attacking center forward off Immobile or replacing him. Can he score like that off a full time wing position for us?

We seem to be very interested as a freebie in 2018. Beppe to get him now would spend a certain amount. Guy got the talent. Problem with him is attitude.
this:

Born in Arbúcies, Girona, Catalonia, to Senegalese parents, Keita came up through the FC Barcelona's youth academy. In 2010, Keita travelled with the Barcelona youth team to Qatar for a tournament, where he played a practical joke by placing an ice-cube in a teammate's bed.

As a punishment, Barcelona sent the 15-year-old Keita on loan to satellite club UE Cornellà, despite Keita's reputation as a future prospect for the first team. The loan meant Cornellà held the rights to a fraction of Keita's playing rights. After a season in which he scored 47 goals for Cornellà's youth side, Keita turned down the chance to return to Barcelona, attracting the interest of Real Madrid and Manchester United.

Then why sign him? We need winger. Winger is his natural habitat but has been more effective in central counter attacking role. And we have Dybala and getting Schick to deputize Gonzalo.

----------------Higuain/Schick--------------
Mandzukic/Pjaca Dybala/Keita Berna/Cuadrado

we do need supersubs in the CL, when Higuain and Dybala have games like the one vs Real + we could rotate more in Serie A to keep the starters fresh for the finish of the season

Probably Bernardeschi would be even better sub for Dybala since he is a natural playmaker who plays combination style well while Keita is more about individual danger on the counter.

If anything Keita's speed would help us a lot in games were we sit back. Both Higuain and Dybala are at there best, when we are in control and possesion. Keita could be a good alternative to them both.

The report says he is not a first choice target for us as well, i just feel we want him for free or low balled price as its a good opportunity but he is not really a target we wont want to miss. We are not prioritizing this signing anyway with Milan interest or not. As a player, he doesn't look anything special to play on the wings either. More like a SS .
