Liverpool fans can’t wait for superb Naby Keita

Liverpool fans are delighted with the form of Naby Keita after the Guinean midfielder dominated Red Bull Leipzig’s Thursday night win.

Keita picked up an assist in Thursday night’s 2-1 Europa League win over Zenit, and Liverpool fans can’t stop talking about the African sensation.

Leipzig went two goals to the good in the 77th minute when Keita picked up the ball in midfield, effortlessly glided past the Zenit midfield and slid a perfect pass through to Timo Werner, who finished wonderfully.

The 23 year-old midfielder has not quite matched his incredible output from last season, but that can be expected from a player who knows he is leaving in the summer. The Reds triggered his £48 million release clause last summer, though they will have to pay an extra premium if they qualify for Europe.

Keita has four goals and three assists in 17 Bundesliga starts this season. On Thursday night against Zenit, he completed 75 of 81 passes, five out of seven dribbles, and added five tackles.

The Guinean’s superb dribbling and passing ability will draw defences out of shape for Liverpool, allowing more space for their excellent front three. Needless to say, Liverpool fans are quite excited about it.
