Liverpool target Naby Keita recognised by Bundesliga fans for season success

RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita has been named runner-up in the Bundesliga Players' Player of the Year award.

The 22-year-old midfielder was in outstanding form to help RB Leipzig finish runners-up to champions Bayern Munich in their first season in the German top flight.

In a vote conducted by Kicker, Bayern's Robert Lewandowski finished top of the poll of 248 of his fellow professionals, taking 25% of the overall vote.

Keita remains a major target for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

The midfielder could move to Anfield for a record fee for Liverpool later this summer.
