Youth career
Keita started playing football when he was seven. At fourteen he was playing for Evreux in the Honors Division. Wolves offered him a week-long trial, and were impressed enough to take him on. He did well at U18 level and was moved up to U21 where, after what looked like a slow start, he began to score goals, but from round about the Christmas of 2014 he was a sub rather than a starter, or he would start a game and get subbed off. Then he was out of the squad altogether. Eventually it was announced that he had been offered a new two-year deal but had rejected this: Kenny Jackett said that the player had received three very good and improved offers from the club, but had turned them down. At the end of the season he left.
He sat on the first team bench three times: twice in the 2013-14 season, and once in the 2014-15 season (22 November). He never got any game time.
International
One cap for French U16 v Italy.
