Liverpool signing Naby Keita gets straight red for slapping Tunisia player

Naby Keita is an explosive player, but showed once again his aggression sometimes spills over by getting sent off against Tunisia.

The midfielder will officially join Liverpool next summer after the Reds agreed a fee with RB Leipzig in August.

And the Liverpool fans will be getting another player who plays right on the edge.

Keita began Guinea’s World Cup qualifier against Tunisia in stunning form as he put his side ahead.

It was a morale boosting goal for his side before the game got away from Guinea and Keita.

Things quickly unraveled for Guinea who were pegged back in the final stages of the first half before two quick goals in the second period.

Guinea were 3-1 down when Keita clashed with Mohamed Ben Amor in the middle of the park in the closing minutes of the game.

But, the referee has no doubts

Ben Amor immediately pulled up and the referee issued a red card to Keita instantly.

Replays showed that Keita slapped Ben Amor as he went by him and Tunisia went on to win the game 4-1.

Keita clearly has some fire in his game, but Liverpool fans will be slightly concerned to see a player they will pay upwards of £50million for go off the rails.

It is not the first time Keita has seen red this season as he was hit with a three-game ban for a high challenge on Borussia Monchengladbach’s Christoph Kramer last month.
