Naby Keita has touched down on Merseyside as he prepares to begin life as a Liverpool player.

The Guinean international sealed his dream move to Anfield last summer in a deal worth around £52.75million, under the agreement he would spend the 2017/18 campaign with RB Leipzig.

He will officially become a Liverpool player on July 1, and is expected to take part in pre-season training at Melwood on July 2.

The midfielder could make his debut for the club in a friendly against Chester on July 7.

The 23-year-old scored six goals in 27 games in his final Bundesliga campaign as Leipzig finished sixth.

Jurgen Klopp had hoped to bring him to Anfield last summer but Leipzig were adamant he had to stay put for this season.

The Reds’ request to bring forward the agreement to January was also rejected.

Keita will be joined by Fabinho at the start of next week - but no new incomings are expected while the World Cup is in full flow.
