After what has been possibly the longest 12 months of Liverpool fans' lives, the anticipation and eagerness to see their new number eight in the Shankly Red of Liverpool sparked sheer elation across Merseyside.
Without getting distracted from the prospect of the move, Naby Keita did his talking on the pitch as one of the most consistent performers in the Bundesliga last season. Under the right manager and in the right squad setup, his £52.75m move to Merseyside could be one to remember.
He has everything in his favour, playing under a world class manager in Jurgen Klopp, featuring alongside world class players and playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, there is no doubt that he has put his name on the map.
