​According to the Neil Jones of Liverpool Echo, Liverpool will explore the possibility of bringing Naby Keita to Anfield in January if possible.

​

​Anfield officials are attempting to bring Keita to Anfield in January instead of summer - is likely to have sounded off the alarm bells at Anfield with his short fuse, after remarkably being shown a red card for the third time in his last seven matches for club and country.



​The 22-year-old midfielder is expected to add composure and steel into the Reds lineup next season, but his disciplinary record so far this season is proving to be worrisome. His latest indiscretion came against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night when he was dismissed after 53 minutes after receiving two yellow cards.

​Keita's red card proved to be costly for RB Leipzig in their German Cup match against the Bavarian giants as they fell to defeat in a penalty shootout. The dismissal ensures another stint on the sidelines due to suspension for the 22-year-old, as per the Daily Mail.



​The midfielder has collected his three red cards in the space of just one month, with the first straight red coming against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga, and the other coming whilst playing for Guinea in their World Cup qualifier against Tunisia.

​​Although his poor disciplinary record is unlikely to have Jurgen Klopp thrilled, Liverpool are in need of a player prepared to battle it out and add much needed grunt into the midfield as they have been accused of being easily pushed over in recent times.

Liverpool Fans: Would You Rather... Win the League, But Lose Coutinho & Mane in the Summer? Win the FA Cup, But Miss Out on a Top 4 Finish? Secure a Top 4 Place, But Everton Finish Above Us? Sign a World Class Keeper, But Be Stuck With the Same Defence for Next Season?
