Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all keeping a close eye on Naby Keita's contract situation at Liverpool, according to a report.

The Guinea international - who has endured another injury-hit season with the Anfield powerhouses - is due to become a free agent at the end of the campaign.

Keita can therefore open talks with foreign clubs in January as things stand, although Liverpool are understood to want to agree a new deal with the 27-year-old.

Jurgen Klopp supposedly believes that Keita is an indispensable member of his squad when fully fit, but the midfielder wants assurances over his playing time before putting pen to paper.

Furthermore, it has been claimed that Keita will not discuss a new contract with Liverpool before January, and a host of clubs are said to be monitoring developments.

According to 90Min, all of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham remain attentive to Keita's contract situation and are weighing up moves for the ex-RB Leipzig man as a free agent next year.

The report claims that Keita's agents pushed Liverpool to offer the lynchpin fresh terms before the summer transfer window shut, and they were left frustrated when a deal did not materialise.

Now, the two parties are said to have been left "deadlocked" in the situation, and Keita's camp are aware that the 27-year-old will not be short of offers if he chooses to leave.

Chelsea in particular could undergo a significant midfield reshuffle next summer, as Jorginho and N'Golo Kante are both due to depart upon the expiration of their contracts.

Jorginho's agent has said that talks with Chelsea over a new deal are a priority, but Graham Potter does not believe that Kante's contract situation is vitally important as he recovers from thigh surgery.

Meanwhile, Arsenal's Mohamed Elneny - who will also miss a good chunk of the season with a hamstring injury - looks set to leave the club when his deal expires in 2023.

Albert Sambi Lokonga's future has been called into question too, and the Belgian's exit could lead the Gunners to consider a low-risk free transfer for Keita.

Despite his dissatisfactory injury record, Keita is also thought to have attracted the attention of Borussia Dortmund, as well as garnering interest from clubs in Spain, France and Italy.

The Guinea international has 11 goals and seven assists to boast from 117 games for Liverpool since 2018, but his only appearance this season has come in the Community Shield win over Manchester City.

Hamstring injuries have forced Keita into the treatment room during the early stages of the new term, although he did make the bench for August's draw with Crystal Palace.

However, the injury-hit midfielder is expected to be back in full training this week, but Wednesday's Champions League game with Ajax will likely be too soon for him to make a comeback. body check tags ::
