Liverpool fans have ramped up their excitement for the arrival of RB Leipzig’s Naby Keita after his stunning performance at the weekend.
The Guinea international ran the show on Sunday against Bayern Munich, scoring a goal and providing in an assist in a memorable 2-1 win over the league leaders at the Red Bull Arena.
The win meant Leipzig were the first team to beat Bayern in 19 attempts in all competitions.
And the victory also took Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side to within six points of second place Schalke and Keita’s individual total for the season to eight goals and five assists.
The German side next face Hannover at the weekend before the first round of their Europa League quarter-final clash with Marseille a week later.
Keita agreed to join Liverpool last summer in a deal worth a reported £56 million after his terrific breakthrough season with Leipzig.
He however won’t make the switch to Anfield until the end of this season.
After his most recent masterclass against Bayern however, May can’t come any sooner for the Liverpool fans, who are keen to see their new man strut his stuff in red …

We cannot ignore Naby Keïta's (23) performance this evening.
A goal and an assist, yes. But his overall contribution has been fantastic as a creator and in marshalling the RB Leipzig midfield.
Leading by example in a high-pressure match.

Naby Keita absolutely dominating Bayern – can't wait to see him in a Liverpool shirt.

The prospect of Naby Keita playing behind the attacking trio of Mane, Firmino and Salah is literally mouthwatering. Can't remember the last time I was this excited about a new player arriving at the club! pic.twitter.com/OltfL778v1

Naby Keita is going to be one hell of a player for that mob unfortunately.
