We’ve waited 12 months, but Naby Keita is playing competitive football for Liverpool – and it looks like it’s going to be worth the wait.
The Guinean shone in the first-half against West Ham, playing a massive role in Mo Salah’s opening goal.

Keita dribbled and timed his pass to Andrew Robertson perfectly, with the Scot then squaring for the Egyptian to notch.
Literally thousands of fans on Twitter praised Keita’s early touches, which were consistently clever and brave.
He linked up very well with Sadio Mane on multiple occasion and put in a number of tackles, too.
It’s too early to make sweeping statements on the 23-year-old, but it looks like we’ve signed a potential world-beater
I’m in love with Keita already😭
