Guinea and RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita says he is excited with the prospect of working with manager Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

The Syli Nationale midfielder said he is looking forward to working with the German boss at Anfield Stadium next season.

Keita admits he will miss the Leipzig lifestyle, but is also looking forward to his new lifestyle at Liverpool in England.

"He's doing a good job in Liverpool, you can tell. I look forward to the cooperation,’’ he told Bild.

"My adviser Björn Bezemer speaks French, the contact was with him.

"The city, the people are really nice. And the typical German characteristics: Punctuality is definitely typical German, meticulous work also."
