Hasenhuttl reiterates Keita will not join Liverpool

RB Leipzig boss Hasenhuttl has again insisted that his young midfielder Naby Kieta will not leave for Liverpool.

The 22-year old has scored eight goals for Leipzig this season, and has reportedly caught the eye of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

Having helped the club qualify for next year's Champions League, Hassenhuttl believes the Guinea midfielder is going nowhere.

"He [Keita] feels well, and we love him," Hasenhuttl told regional German newspaper LVZ.

"We are a super exciting club. Naby sees how much the coaching staff invest to make him better.

"If I take the celebrations [after qualifying for the Champions League] as a benchmark, Naby will stay with us forever. You just don't just leave a squad like ours."
