Sadio Mane, Senegal
Mane became Africa’s most expensive player when Liverpool signed him for 34 million pounds over the summer. That definitely looks like money well spent by the Reds as Mane has significantly improved their attacking force by contributing 9 goals and 4 assists in 19 games.
Prior to his Anfield move, he was lighting up the St. Mary’s with regularity at Southampton, where he established himself as a top player. Quick on the turn, skilled and mesmeric, Mane is coming into his own as a winger and will carry the weight of Lions of Teranga’s expectations on his shoulders.
