While the hangover of Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Arsenal is still fresh, the Reds fans were presented with another exciting news to drool over – the club have agreed a transfer fee for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita.

He has completed his medical in Wilmslow on Monday morning. The 22-year-old, however, will become a Liverpool player on July 1, 2018, that is he will join next summer.

Former Liverpool striker, and now a popular football pundit, Stan Collymore has taken to Twitter to express his view on the deal.

He says that Liverpool should make a move for another top target – Virgil van Dijk – next before the transfer deadline.

Southampton have stayed resolute in their decision to not sell the 26-year-old Dutch defender, but strange things do happen in football, and especially during the transfer window.
