Naby Keita is honoured to take the number 8 shirt at Liverpool, as it was worn by one of his footballing heroes before him: Steven Gerrard.
In an interview with the Telegraph, Keita revealed that he wore a Liverpool shirt when he played football on the streets as a child, as his father was a huge admirer of the club and of Gerrard in particular.
Gerrard, now manager at Rangers, surprised Keita at Melwood as he presented the number 8 shirt to its new owner - something which Keita had not been expecting.
