Club career[]

Keita was born in Conakry, but moved to Spain at early age. After representing Rayo Vallecano as a youth, he moved to CD Santa Eugenia in the regional leagues in January 2011, and made his senior debut for the club during the 2010–11 campaign.

In July 2011 Keita joined Huracán Valencia CF, returning to the youth setup. He was promoted to the first team in Segunda División B ahead of the 2013–14 campaign, but after appearing rarely, he was loaned to Tercera División side RSD Alcalá in January 2014.

On 25 August 2014, Keita agreed to a one-year loan deal with CD San Roque de Lepe also in the third division.[1] The following 2 February he signed for Levante UD, being initially assigned to the reserves in the fourth tier.[2]

Keita continued to appear in the lower leagues in the following years, representing Recreativo de Huelva,[3] CF Peralada,[4] Atlético Saguntino[5] and Ontinyent CF.[6]

International career[]

Keita was first called up for the Guinea national team on 26 October 2017, ahead of a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against DR Congo.[7] He made his full international debut on 11 November, coming on as a substitute for Guy-Michel Landel and scoring the equalizer in the 1–3 away loss at the Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa.[8]
