Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's been inundated with congratulatory messages after their deal for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita.

Keita will move to Merseyside next summer after the Reds agreed a £55m deal with RB Leipzig for the Guinea international last month.

Klopp said: “I have contact to a lot of people in the Bundesliga, as you can imagine, and I have never had so many congratulations messages as I had after signing Naby!

"He's the player of the league, that's how it is. Last year, together with Thiago Alcantara who played an outstanding season for Bayern, he was the flier. He's been doing this for two or three years, with different clubs in different leagues, but he's still a young boy.

“It's really good news. OK, we have to wait but sometimes we have to wait for a really good thing. I have no problem with this. I would have preferred, of course, another situation, but it's cool!"
