The Mali prospect showed signs of what to come having impressed in the Reds’ pre-season fixtures against VFB Stuttgart and Wacker Innsbruck
Ibrahima Konate has described his maiden Liverpool appearance as "an unforgettable moment" as the Reds tried VFB Stuttgart for size in a friendly on Tuesday.
The former France youth international of Malian descent joined the Reds on a £36 million ($50m) switch from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.
The 22-year-old centre-back made his bow as the English side played out a 1-1 draw against the German elite division side, just as their earlier encounter with Wacker Innsbruck finished.
