And Liverpool fans have been rewarded following the announcement with Konate lining up in the France under-21 side that faced The Netherlands in Budapest.
The French finished second in their group back in March. But with Konate playing alongside Dayot Upamecano, it was difficult to see their opponents getting many chances.

And they could have got a fantastic chance to take the lead had it not been for a stunning challenge from Konate on the edge of the box.

Nevertheless, plenty of Liverpool fans were full of praise for the youngster’s display. Many seem even more excited about seeing him on Merseyside next season.
