LIVERPOOL have emerged as favourites with the bookies to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita.

Keita has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer after a stunning debut campaign at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.

And bookmakers Betfair appear confident Keita is Anfield-bound, with the 22-year-old now at even money to join Liverpool this summer.

Leipzig are said to have slapped a £70million price tag on the Guinea international in order to fend off interest from the Reds.

But German football expert Lee Price reckons Liverpool have already agreed personal terms with Keita.

Price said: "I've heard Liverpool will definitely sign Keita and Leipzig are now just trying to get as much as possible for the player.

"Keita caught Jurgen Klopp's attention immediately upon arriving in Germany - scoring the winner against Dortmund on his debut for Leipzig.

"At the minute, Leipzig are playing hardball, but have already begun moves to replace Keita.

"Personal terms have been agreed with the player, who will offer an energetic midfield option which is capable of dictating the play.

"His agility will suit Klopp's high press, while his technical skill will provide someone who can carve a defence open."

Keita recently admitted he was approached by a number of Premier League clubs last summer.

On the clubs that made contact with him, Keita said: "Arsenal, Southampton, Manchester City and Liverpool. Although I did not talk with the coach [Klopp]."
