Africa Cup of Nations - 5 players to watch out for - Senegal

Mane will be the star of the Senegal team

#5 Moussa Sow

Moussa Sow
Sow has the ability to change the game in an instant

Often linked with a move to Premier League teams, the dream move never quite materialised for Moussa Sow, but he has still managed to get his name often in British newspaper headlines, with an overhead kick goal against Manchester United quickly followed by a similar one against Rizespor in the league.

In fact, back in November, the Fenerbache official club store released a shirt with Sow's name and shirt number printed upside down! A knack for audacious goals aside, consistency is what held Sow back even during his peak years - and he would be the first to tell you that if his goals were to lead Senegal all the way through the tournament, he wouldn't really mind even if some of them were not scored acrobatically in midair.


Honourable Mentions

Mohamed Diame

The Newcastle United midfielder has often flattered to deceive while still in the Premier League, but if he plays to his potential, Senegal would find themselves a bonus source of goals.

Mame Diouf

Another Premier League player, the striker set pulses racing when he destroyed Manchester City a couple of seasons ago, and would have to settle for a place on the bench if does not find his scoring touch soon.
