Naby Keita admits home nation Guinea has gone Liverpool mad after his move from RB Leipzig.

Keita's switch to Anfield has seen his status as a national hero back in his homeland only increase.

“It has gone crazy, absolutely crazy," he said. "People are watching Liverpool every time that they can.

“I have not been home on holiday this summer but I know it has been mad. The interest is huge. They are buying Liverpool shirts or just red shirts, whatever they can. There is great interest but it just gives me motivation to work even harder.

“There is no Guinean footballer who has made it big currently or who is playing at a top, top club. The interest is down to that.

"Most importantly, I think it is a really source of pride back home that I have managed to sign for Liverpool."
