#4 Sadio Mane (Liverpool)
While Liverpool ended their campaign a single point away from the Premier League title, Sadio Mane ended his with a Premier League Golden Boot. Mane shared the accolade with teammate Mohamed Salah and Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Senegal international has enjoyed his best ever season in terms of goal-scoring, having netted 26 goals in 49 appearances for the Reds. His assist record in the league (1) may not be as impressive as his goal-scoring abilities, but he remains an influential figure in Jurgen Klopp's attacking trio.
For his contribution to Liverpool's incredible campaign, Mane was named in the PFA Team of the Year and was also nominated for the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award.
Decisive performances in the Champions League final and the African Cup of Nations this summer could greatly influence Mane's rankings in the Ballon d’Or.
