Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has slammed Naby Keita.

Murphy believes Keita has 'probably been the worst' big-name signing during Jurgen Klopp's tenure.

“Although I think Fabinho is a bit down on his form, with him, Thiago [Alcantara] and [Jordan] Henderson fit and playing every week I don't think the midfield is as big a problem as people make out," Murphy told TalkSPORT.

“Although you would like more choice. [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain is never fit. [Naby] Keita's probably been the worst signing out of the big ones, all the others have done well.

“And the two young lads, although super talents, you can't rely on them week in, week out, it's not fair. So, an overview would be there's lots to improve on and it's not going to happen overnight. The World Cup is going to be a welcome break for Liverpool I think, I really do."
