Liverpool are set to welcome RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita on Sunday.

The claims arrive after it emerged Keita has registered a company in the UK.

The Daily Express says despite Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's hesitation on Friday, it appears the situation has taken a dramatic twist.

A company under the name 'NK8 LIMITED' has been registered on the Companies House website. Two people are listed as officers - Naby Deco Keita and Bjorn Alexander Bezemer.

And the website states Keita was appointed as a director on January 11.

Respected German football expert Raphael Honigstein wrote on Twitter: “interesting. it's legit."

And journalist Chris Williams also tweeted: “Information from within Leipzig this evening that Naby Keita will become a Liverpool player on Sunday."
