Naby Keita: It's special to work with Klopp

The Guinea international linked up with the Reds boss for the first time in the summer when his pre-agreed transfer from RB Leipzig was completed.

Keita, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury in recent weeks, has made 10 appearances for the club since his arrival, as Klopp’s men navigated the opening 10 Premier League games without defeat and took top spot at the halfway point of their Champions League group.

As the No.8 works towards a return to fitness, he has opened up on the burgeoning relationship between player and manager.

“It is really special to have him as a coach,” Keita told Premier League Productions.
