‘An unforgettable moment for me’ – Konate revels in Liverpool debut

The Mali prospect showed signs of what to come having impressed in the Reds’ pre-season fixtures against VFB Stuttgart and Wacker Innsbruck

Ibrahima Konate has described his maiden Liverpool appearance as "an unforgettable moment" as the Reds tried VFB Stuttgart for size in a friendly on Tuesday.

The former France youth international of Malian descent joined the Reds on a £36 million ($50m) switch from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

The 22-year-old centre-back made his bow as the English side played out a 1-1 draw against the German elite division side, just as their earlier encounter with Wacker Innsbruck finished.
