Abroad: Naby Keita earns new nickname at Die Rotten Bullen
The Guinean’s time at German side, Red Bull Leipzig is fast expiring while his popularity is fast growing. The Syli Nationale player was once again the star of the Die Rotten Bullen show as they dispatched Hannover 96 by 3-2 away from home. Naby Keita’s consistent performances have won him hearts and earned his nine-year-old team some money when they agreed a transfer deal understood to be in the region of £66 million with Liverpool in August 2017.
The story coming from German is that Bundesliga has given him a new nickname with the aid of autocorrect.
“Thanks to the magic of autocorrect, Naby Keita has earned the nickname ‘Baby Keith”
From now onwards, fans are expected to shout the 23-year-old’s nickname whenever he touches the ball, starting the UEFA Europa League first leg Quarter-Final match, where they beat Olympique Marseille by a goal to nothing.
Can you imagine how Liverpool will line up next year, with the African connection of Salah, Mane, and Keita in their ranks?
