The time has come for Naby Keita to FINALLY step up for Liverpool after an impressive pre-season... Jurgen Klopp is yet to replace Gini Wijnaldum and the Guinean now has the chance to shrug off his injury woes and live up to his £52m price tag

The question on Liverpool fans' lips this summer has been who will Jurgen Klopp buy to replace Gini Wijnaldum? Naby Keita may prove the solution is already at Anfield.

Keita has failed to live up to the hype that accompanied his £52million move from RB Leipzig in 2017. Klopp wanted him so badly that he was willing to buy the Guinean 12 months before his release clause kicked in.

Upon his arrival, the German described his new player as 'the complete midfielder' and Keita boldly took the No 8 shirt, which hadn't been worn since Steven Gerrard left the club.
