Born in the year 1996 In Paris, Keita started his soccer career as a youth player with the club in his hometown, Paris FC. He was selected to play at INF Clairefontaine, and spent three years with Monaco’s youth team before being let go.

On 19 January 2017, Keita signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Birmingham City of the EFL Championship (English second tier); the fee was undisclosed. According to Birmingham City manager Gianfranco Zola “Everybody speaks very highly about him in Italy and a lot of teams were interested – we did very well to get him because everybody says he has got a big future.” He made his debut on the 4th of February against Fulham in the left of the back four. He also made sure to keep a clean sheet and was the one to score Lukas Jutkiewicz’s winner in what was considered to be an outstanding performance by the match officials. He remained in the team that was struggling for the following six games which ended in defeat until an injury to his knee caused him to be ruled to miss. He was reinstated to the squad in April, just before the league’s top team Brighton & Hove Albion, but the Birmingham Mail’s journalist considered that his forward-thinking character led to his selection being too risky , while the team was in danger of being relegated. Keita finished the season with ten appearances, and the team won the Championship victory on the final date of their season. Keita was a substitute in the second half during the opening game of the 2017-18 campaign, however, he suffered an injury to his groin which prevented him from playing for some time. The the new coach Harry Redknapp signed Arsenal youngster Cohen Bramall on loan, and Bramall was immediately inserted into the squad for.

Keita returned to Italy to join Serie A club Bologna on loan for the 2017–18 season. He arrived with an adductor muscle injury that he expected to keep him out for two weeks, but remained under treatment for some considerable time longer, and did not take a full part in first-team training until well into November. After two appearances for the club’s Primavera side, he was included in the squad for the Serie A match at home to Cagliari on 3 December, but remained unused. Keita finally made his Bologna and Serie A debut on 18 April 2018, away to Sampdoria, as a second-half substitute for regular left wing- back Adam Masina; he became the first Malian to play for the club. Head coach Roberto Donadoni said that he put Keita on rather than Ibrahima Mbaye because of his greater drive. Keita made his only start in his third and last appearance for Bologna, in a 3–1 defeat against top-of-the-table Juventus. He struggled against the trickery of Juan Cuadrado, and was unable to cover properly for Juventus’ second goal because he was pushed by its scorer, Sami Khedira.

Keita is a native of France and is of Malian descent. He was a member of Mali at the level of under-20, and was called up to the senior side in May 2016 to play an friendly match against Nigeria as well as the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Sudan, but missed out due to injuries. Director Alain Giresse selected him again to play in the World Cup qualifier in November and he was a unemployed substitute.
