Liverpool midfielder Fabinho is full of praise for Naby Keita.

Keita will leave Liverpool when his contract expires this summer.

Fabinho told liverpoolfc.com: "I remember, Naby and I arrived together at the club. I remember the pre-season – he adapted much faster than me! He was playing since the first game against West Ham, he started that game and he was playing really well.

"I always loved to play with him because we understand each other really well, and we will miss him. Out of the pitch, Naby is something really special, really funny and nice to be around.

"Ox, since my arrival he struggled a little bit with injuries – when I arrived his knee was injured. But he was a really nice guy as well, nice to be around and nice to play together as well.

"He always said I don't talk too much on the pitch but when I talk it's because I'm right. So when I say something he says, 'I just try to listen to you because I know you say something right.' He is a nice guy and I wish the best for him as well," he continued.
