RB Leipzig's £70M rated rising star Naby Keita wants to move to Liverpool, according to his compatriot and former Liverpool star Titi Camara.
Speculation has been mounting over the past week that Keita is a top target of Jurgen Klopp, with suggestions that the player and club have agreed terms despite any concrete information that LFC have even made a bid for the player.
Now Titi Camara has given his verdict, using social media:
From what I'm led to believe naby has his heart set on #lfc move. Leipzig have been informed of his intent and are looking for replacement

The number 9 shirt was recently given to Roberto Firmino after Mohammed Salah came in to take the number 11 shirt off the Brazilian, so even if he does join Keita may not get his shirt number wish.
The Liverpool coaching staff are preparing for the re-start of pre-season training with the club's first friendly game in 9 days time.
