Naby Keita reportedly wants assurances over playing time before he agrees to extend his Liverpool contract, which is due to expire next year.

Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita reportedly wants assurances about his playing time before he agrees to a new contract.

Despite making 117 appearances for the club, Keita has found it difficult to nail down a regular starting place for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Keita's time on Merseyside has been disrupted by injuries, which is highlighted by the fact that he is yet to feature in the Premier League this season due to a hamstring problem.

With his current contract set to expire next summer, talks are ongoing between the player and the club over a new deal.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Keita is yet to make a decision over his Liverpool future due to concerns about his playing time.

The report indicates that the 27-year-old wants assurances of regular first-team football before he agrees to sign a new deal.

Keita has scored 11 goals and registered seven assists as a Liverpool player, while he has won six trophies in his time with the Reds, including a Premier League title and the Champions League.
