Klopp has every right to be happy to see his new signing - the player was in fine form for RB Leipzig last season, getting six goals and five assists from 27 league games and helping his team finish sixth in the GermanΒ βBundesliga.
Although the transfer was agreed last summer, Keita has only recently signed in the past week from RB Leipzig for around Β£48m, and will wear the number eightΒ shirt previously worn by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
The Guinean internationalΒ will join recent signing Fabinho in Liverpool's new-look midfield, in a season where Klopp will be hoping to finish in the top four and perhaps even attempt to win theΒ βPremier LeagueΒ title.
