Naby Keita’s younger brother Petit training with Reds

The younger brother of Naby Keita is currently training with Liverpool after leaving his former side, according to ESPN.

Petit Keita, who is a 17-year-old striker, left German fifth division side Inter Leipzig in the Summer but is now training with Liverpool.

The striker left Germany after his brother secured a transfer to England with Liverpool, after moving to the country when his brother joined Leipzig back in 2016.

Inter Leipzig coach Heiner Backhaus highly rated the striker and praised his performances to German outlet Fussball.DE.

He’s a classic centre-forward, who with aggressiveness and his work rate is up there with the U19s’ best strikers.

His brother Naby Keita has impressed since joining the Reds, after finally joining after agreeing a move to Liverpool last January.

The Guinean midfielder did suffer an injury in the UEFA Champions League against Napoli however, so has been out of action since.
