Molby has watched Keita in action and thinks there are parallels between him and Chelsea ace Kante, because of their athleticism in midfield.
And he thinks Keita would be a perfect addition to Klopp’s midfield if they could secure a deal.
“We need more options in midfield and I'm encouraged to see us linked with Naby Keita of RB Leipzig,” Molby told the Liverpool Echo.

“He's a player. Having seen him in action, he reminds me of N'Golo Kante.

“Of course, a lot of other clubs are also looking at him. And this is where finishing in the top four makes such a difference.
“Yes, he'd have a chance to play in the Premier League at a great football club. But being in the Champions League is where the best players want to be.”
