'Little bit underwhelming' - Naby Keita sent Liverpool contract message as Jurgen Klopp claim made

Danny Murphy believes Liverpool will look to offer Naby Keita a new contract, but he must deliver the goods next season.

The Guinea international joined the Reds in 2017, for a deal that has risen to £52.75million. The 27-year-old has made 116 appearances in all competitions for Jurgen Klopp's side across four seasons, scoring 11 goals, but hampered with injuries, he is still to cement a permanent place in midfield and has in some quarters been criticised for a lack of consistency.

However, Match of the Day pundit Murphy, who represented Liverpool in midfield himself from 1997-2004, recognises the faith that manager Klopp has in his big-money signing and does not rule out the possibility of Keita being offered a new contract.
