Ibrahima Konate was given a hero’s welcome in the Middle East as he made an appearance for what seems to be a brand ambassador event with the National Bank of Bahrain.
The Frenchman looked somewhat sheepish as his nickname ‘Ibou’ was chanted repeatedly on arrival in footage shared on Twitter by @KonateFC.
The Liverpool squad currently finds itself on leave following a season that fell below expectations for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
