Liverpool ace Sadio Mane is adamant Naby Keita will prove his value at Anfield.

Speaking with France Football, Mane opened up on the impact of "true friend" Keita in his life on Merseyside.

He said: “He's more than a friend for me, he's a brother.

"It hasn't been easy for him lately because he was injured for a long time, but I know he'll come back at his best, because he's working hard to do so.

“He just needs to improve his English to be understood more by everyone, but to be able to count on a true friend in the group, that's priceless. It's even calming at times."
