@utkarshkopblog takes a look at Naby Keita being potentially our new number 8 for Liverpool football club next season.

Naby Keita (age 22) is a Guinean footballer who currently plays for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig as a central midfielder. Liverpool are given a fresh hope in their pursuit of Naby Keita. Earlier Leipzig insisted the midfielder is not for sale but are now ready to sell the player after they are close to sign RB Salzburg player Konrad Laimar as his replacement.

RB Leipzig has slapped the price tag of £50m which Liverpool are ready to pay according to recent reports. ​Sadio Mane had sparked joy amongst Liverpool fans after he was pictured alongside Naby Keita. Sadio Mane may hold a big influence to bring Naby Keita to Liverpool and also him and the RB Leipzig player share the same agents.

After capturing Egyptian International Mohamed Salah, Liverpool have showed signs of intent in the transfer window and are ready to spend big on top players. Is Naby Keita the player Liverpool need to fill the boots of Liverpool Legend Steven Gerrard and become their new No.8?
