Such is the hype surrounding Naby Keita that Jurgen Klopp has been sent congratulatory messages after completing a move for the RB Leipzig midfielder.Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign the 22-year-old next summer in what is being labelled an excellent piece of business."I have contact with a lot of people in the German Bundesliga, how you can imagine, and I've never got so many congratulation messages like after it was in [the] public that we signed Naby, because he's the player of the league," Klopp said on Friday, per ESPN."Last year, together with Thiago Alcantara who played outstandingly for Bayern Munich, he [Naby] was the flyer and he's doing that already for two or three years in different leagues. He's still a very young boy. That's really good news."OK, we have to wait. But sometimes you have to wait for a really good thing. I have no problem with this. I would have preferred another situation, but it's not a problem. It's cool.”Klopp and Liverpool will now closely monitor Keita’s performances for Leipzig this season as they begin to envisage the Guinean in the side.

Keita scored a worldie v Hamburg

A box-to-box midfielder, Keita showed just why he is set to receive Steven Gerrard’s No.8 shirt by scoring a wonderful goal against Hamburg.

Keita received the ball 40 yards from goal before turning his marker, surging forward and unleashing a spectacular 30-yard effort that Hamburg goalkeeper Christian Mathenia could only help palm into the net.
