Liverpool are favourites to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita, according to the latest betting odds.

Leading bookmaker Sky Bet have priced the 22-year-old Bundesliga sensation at 9/4 to make a switch to Anfield before September 3.

Manchester United (9/1), Premier League champions Chelsea (10/1) and Tottenham (14/1) follow the Merseyside club in the betting list.

German outfit RB Leipzig, who were likened to Leicester City for their success last season, recently concluded the campaign by finishing as runners-up to champions Bayern Munich.

Midfielder Keita played a huge part in their success, scoring eight goals and supplying the same amount of assists from the middle of the park.

The Guinea international has also represented his home country on 18 occasions, finding the back of the net twice, further showing that he has an eye for goal.

Keita, who has also played in France during his career, has three-years left on his current deal at the Red Bull Arena.

Jurgen Klopp’s side recently concluded their campaign by securing a Champions League place on the last day of the season ahead of Arsenal.

The Reds still need to qualify for the group stages of Europe’s biggest club competition by winning a two-legged qualifier which will take place at the start of next season.

Despite that, Liverpool are expected to progress to the group stages of the Champions League where they could potentially meet RB Leipzig.
