Senegal star Sadio Mane says Liverpool are “very lucky” to be getting the services of Guinean midfield dynamo Naby Keita.

The 22-year-old Syli Nationale player will move to Anfield from German club RB Leipzig at the end of the current season, having agreed to a delayed transfer back in August.

Mane told LFC TV: "He’s a friend for me. Even not a friend, he’s like a brother.

“Because we keep in touch all the time, talking. He asks me 'how is the club?' and I tell him 'unbelievable'.

"He knows the team and the club, and he knows how Liverpool is. We’re lucky to have him. He’s an unbelievable player."
