Incoming Liverpool star Naby Keita criticised for 'harming' RB Leipzig in first half of Bundesliga season

Incoming Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has been accused of "harming" RB Leipzig this season.

The midfielder - who joins the Reds in a big-money move in the summer - has been criticised for his performances in the opening half of the Bundesliga season, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Keita starred for RBL during the 2016-17 season, prompting Jurgen Klopp to pay a premium to get a deal done for the all-action creator.

But Keita has failed to reproduce last year's stunning form, scoring just two goals so far after notching eight in his previous campaign.

The 22-year-old also received three red cards – two for the Bundesliga club – in the space of 39 days, with questions being raised over his temperament with his Merseyside move looming.

The Guinean midfielder is joining the Reds in the summer, having agreed a move to Anfield back in August
