The African left Anfield when his contract expired last summer and joined Bremen on a free transfer.
He has made just five appearances since his move to the Bundesliga though, and now appears destined for his third club in just over 12 months.

 
Interestingly, emerging as a surprise transfer target for Championship side Sunderland, Keita almost moved to the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats failed to reach an agreement with the player though.
