#2 Sadio Mane
The Senegalese superstar will be making his first appearance at the World Cup and is definitely a player that is capable of helping his country progress far into the tournament. Mane is one of the star players for Liverpool and is part of a rampaging front three alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
The trio managed to notch a grand total of 91 goals in all competitions last season which was the most by any attacking trio in Europe. Mane, who usually plays as a left winger, is extremely fast, strong and also has world-class dribbling and shooting abilities making him a huge asset to any team that he plays for.
In addition to his scoring abilities, Mane also provides numerous assists and has the ability to produce some slick passes for his teammates. Mane has the likes of Mame Biram Diouf and Diafro Sakho to accompany him upfront who are players that are more than capable of providing adequate support to the Senegalese star man.
With the likes of Koulibaly in defence and Kouyate at the centre of the park to accompany Senegal’s strike force, they may just prove to be dark horses in the tournament and are capable of causing a few upsets.
