Keita Baldé Diao monitored by Liverpool

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has told his scouting team to prepare a dossier on Lazio's young Spanish forward Keita Balde Diao. The 18-year-old has impressed since moving to Lazio from Barcelona back in 2011.

The highly rated youngster will be allowed to leave the Italian side for a fee of around 6 million Euros and the Anfield club will make a bid as soon as the transfer window reopens in January.


Keita has only just recently forced his way into Lazio's first team but that will not persuade the Italian side to keep the youngster, who is reportedly desperate to move to England with Liverpool.
