Naby Keita has revealed he performs two pre-match rituals before every game - and both are incredibly heartwarming.

Liverpool's latest star, who joined this summer having agreed a deal last year, has featured in all of the Reds' opening four Premier League games.

The 23-year-old has impressed too, producing several moments of class backing up his £52million transfer fee.

In his first wide-ranging interview since joining the club, Keita faced questions from the fans. And the Guinean was asked if he has any pre-match superstitions.

"Firstly, before every game, I always speak with my mum," he told LiverpoolFC.com . "She really encourages me a lot.

"Then once I’m out on the field, I say a little prayer for my team and for everyone on the field, both sides, so that nothing bad happens, no-one gets injured.

"Yes, I do that every single game, pray for both sides so nothing untoward happens, like a bad injury."

Incredibly humble from the midfielder.
