Liverpool fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Naby Keita for RB Leipzig against Marseille.

Keita, who will joined Liverpool from Leipzig in the summer of 2018 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £48 million – agreed upon by the two clubs in the summer of 2017 – featured in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final tie against Marseille on Thursday evening.

Although the German club lost the game 5-2 to get knocked out of the European competition 5-3 on aggregate, the performance of the Guinea international, especially his assist, hugely impressed Liverpool fans.

The 23-year-old central midfielder made a spectacular run with the ball before beautifully laying it for Jean-Kevin Augustin to score Leipzig’s second goal.

Liverpool fans were hugely impressed with Keita’s assist and cannot wait for him to turn on the style at Anfield next season.

Keita has made 21 starts and two substitute appearances in the Bundesliga for Leipzig so far this season, according to WhoScored.
