New Monaco signing Keita Balde Diao revealed he only had one concrete offer over the summer, despite reported interest from Liverpool and Tottenham.

The Senegal international was desperate to leave Lazio during the off season and had refused to train with the Italian side to try and force through a move.

And although Liverpool and Tottenham were keeping close tabs on his situation, the player confirmed that Monaco were the only club to submit a formal offer.

"There was a lot of talk about offers," Keita said in his presentation press conference.
