Liverpool 'still waiting for Keita to take off' says Carragher
Naby Keita has already previously laid on record that he wants Timo Werner to join him at Liverpool. The midfielder was close with the German during his time with RB Leipzig and now his associate could be back with him at Anfield next season.

Not only that, but he has been working on his English during private lessons.
If Werner took note of Keita's comments, he will have also heard Sadio Mane's verdict that the striker will be welcomed with open arms at the club.
"I'd advise him to join Liverpool. I like his way of playing: very powerful, good finish, always giving 100 per cent," Mane said.
"If he wants to join us, we like to welcome him into our team.
“When it was clear that Naby would join us, I often watched Leipzig matches and Timo stood out.”

While Werner's intentions are clear, RB Leipzig sporting director Markus Krosche recently claimed that his future may hinge on how the transfer market is affected by the coronavirus.
“It is clear that Timo has attracted interest from other clubs for his great performances with his goals and assists,” Krosche told Sport1.
“England has the same problems as we do. The crisis affects not just one league, it has a global impact, and we cannot say whether things will be the same in six months.
“Everything is possible. We do not know how the transfer market is developing. We are looking into a very foggy glass ball.
"We do not know what our resources are and what the other clubs have in terms of opportunities.”
