Will Liverpool sign anyone this summer, you know now that a certain someone has gone to Barcelona for a massive fee? Liverpool fans were starting to get very excited about Naby Keita but they ended up with egg on their faces.
There's a rather pricey hole to fill in Jurgen Klopp's midfield right now and the German has to decide whether to fill it now, with the cash boost he's recently received, or wait till the summer when he already has one reinforcement waiting.
That reinforcement is RB Leipzig's Naby Keita who the Reds agreed a deal for last summer for him to arrive in Merseyside at the end of this season but there's some suggestion they could try to speed that up and bring him to Anfield this month.

Then on Sunday night the 22 year old posted a picture on Instagram with a plane ticket in front of him and it inevitably got some Reds fans hot under the collar and put them in full investigative mode:
But erm, and I think you've guessed the twist here, it wasn't a plane ticket was it?

No in fact Keita was just about to enjoy an evening out at the basketball and the ticket on the table was his ticket for the match, oops:
Keita of course could still arrive this month but it doesn't seem likely at this point and Reds fans will have to wait until the summer for their new man to arrive and make his debut.

Who knows if Klopp will find another target to replace the man he sold this week.
Managed to go the whole article without typing Coutinho's name....
Damn!
