Naby Keita wears new Liverpool kit while playing match in native Guinea

Naby Keita has returned to his homeland of Guinea before pre-season kicks-off at Liverpool - and has been spotted wearing the new Reds kit while playing a game of football.

The Liverpool number eight is the captain of his national team and is a huge icon in Guinea for what he has achieved in football so far. Keita arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2018 from RB Leipzig in a deal worth around £54million and, while he has struggled to cement his place in Jurgen Klopp's midfield, he is coming off the back of a strong season, And, with just a year remaining on his contract, the Reds' hierarchy are said to be keen on securing his future.

But for now the 27-year-old has been enjoying time back in the place where he grew up. And he gave his supporters something they will never forget as he played in a local match in his hometown stadium. Keita, wearing the number 70, also showed off Liverpool's new Nike home strip for the forthcoming 2022-23 campaign.
