Naby Keita will be a Liverpool player next season.
Less than a week on from his heroics in the Europa League against Napoli, Naby Keita had a very eventful game for RB Leipzig against Frankfurt.
The Liverpool bound midfielder won the ball back as his side took an early lead, only to see them go 2-1 down.
At half-time just after the whistle blew Keita enraged opponents with a late tackle, sparking a brawl between both sides.
Keita is no stranger to controversy; he was sent off earlier this season for a wild tackle and even had a bust-up in training with one of his own players last summer.
He has a bit of an edge about him and this Liverpool side lack a player like him.
Fans were actually encouraged by his involvement, keen for the entertainment he could bring to the team next season, knowing full well he is the type of player who will wind opponents up.
Keita’s game ended on a sour note as he suffered a hamstring injury early in the second half.
The Guinea midfielder could spend a few weeks on the sidelines as a result but from Liverpool’s perspective at least it is not more serious.
He looks set to be a very interesting addition to the Premier League next season. It might not all be pretty, but it sure looks like it will be entertaining.
