"Liverpool just dropped their away kit for next season. This looks like Nigeria's kit."

@PanAfricaFooty added:

"Liverpool’s new away kit is definitely inspired by the Nigerian jersey."

@Austin_Okor believes choosing the same colours as the Super Eagles has left failure 'looming over Anfield'.

"Super Eagles of Liverpool."

@isoaniekan tweeted a suggestion that Liverpool wanted to emulate the look of Nigeria's national team.

Keita leaves Liverpool for Werder

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Guinea captain, Naby Keita leaving Liverpool for Werder Bremen, having joined the Bundesliga outfit on a free transfer.

Before moving to England, the midfielder enjoyed a successful stint in the German league, helping RB Leipzig qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

While Keita's progress at the Reds was hampered somewhat by injuries, he did help the Anfield side win both the Premier League and the UCL title.

Liverpool sign Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool also signed Alexis Mac Allister, the Argentine World Cup winner, from Brighton and Hove Albion for a fee that could increase to a reported £55 million ($69mil).

The 24-year-old midfielder is being touted as the first piece in the midfield rebuild for the Reds, who only finished fifth in the Premier League after a disappointing season.

Sports Brief reported that Mac Allister, who is understood to have signed a five-year deal with the Anfield outfit, said joining Liverpool was a 'dream come true' for him.
