12. Naby Keita

If Fabinho was the silent assassin, the deal for Naby Keita went in all guns blazing. The year long build up allowed Liverpool fans plenty of time to get excited, which we all did.

But this should be another excellent deal by Klopp and the gang. Keita is a supreme athlete and will bring another dimension to the midfield.

It’s clear that the former Bundesliga man can be a threat at both ends of the pitch, and his excellent work rate will be heaven to his manager.

On paper, this is an excellent deal that should work out very well for both parties. Liverpool have waited to get their man, and now should reap the benefits.

Transfer rating: 8/10
