Keita struggles at Liverpool
Naby Keita joined Liverpool last summer from RB Leipzig for a fee in excess of £50m.
At Leipzig Keita was one of the Bundesliga’s brightest talents, scoring 17 and assisting 15 in 71 games.
However, since his move to Anfield, Keita has struggled to rediscover his top form.
Keita has made 21 appearances for Liverpool in the league but he has largely failed to impress, scoring zero goals and registering just one assist in the league.
Fellow summer signing Fabinho also had a similarly slow start to life in the Premier League.
Unlike Keita though, Fabinho has grown into the league and now looks one of the best defensive mids in the division.

As a result of Keita struggling to adapt to life in Liverpool, teamtalk are reporting that the Reds are willing to sell the 24-year-old this summer.
Liverpool are even said to be prepared to lose £10m on Keita. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are both reportedly interested.

Liverpool vs Tottenham
Keita missed Liverpool’s last game vs Fulham with a knock.
If the midfielder is back from injury after the international break, it is still unlikely Klopp will play him in their upcoming game.
Liverpool host Tottenham in a must-win tie next weekend.
Given the importance of the game, Jurgen Klopp will likely play Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum as his midfield three.
Liverpool will head into the game top of the Premier League. But Manchester City still have a game in hand on them.
Spurs, on the other hand, are now battling it out for a top four place and will be looking to end a run of four losses in a row.
