Now, Keita is there, he was given the coveted number eight shirt which was the preserve of the legend of the Steven Gerrard club.

An Impressive Beginning
There is a buzz around the arrival of Keita on Merseyside.

. ] Naby Keita's Record of 2014-15
His first contact was an awesome movie with the outside of his left foot, meant for Alberto Moreno but very slightly on-hit. At the hour of play, a superb overtaking allowed Liverpool to score a second goal on a center left.
Keita was not really invited to participate in this game. Attack the opponent's goal, whether he is running or running away from the scorers.
No wonder he was the third-leading scorer in Leipzig last season with nine goals, a number that Liverpool would be grateful for next season. Apart from star strikers Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho, nobody has scored more than three times in the Premier League.
