Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has set himself a six-month deadline to learn the English language.
Keita is taking lessons in an attempt to learn English following his switch from RB Leipzig in the summer.
The midfielder is keen to get to grips with English so that he can communicate with his teammates on, and off, the pitch.
Speaking to The Liverpool Echo, Keita said this:
I am following a course, I am really motivated to speak English, it is really important for me.
I want to be able to speak to the coach, I want to speak to the other players on the team and I am really working hard.
I am hoping in six months I will be able to do these interviews in English.
Keita has made ten appearances for Liverpool in all competitions this season, with eight of them coming in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old joined after scoring 17 goals in 71 appearances for Leipzig in Germany.
