3. Sadio Mane
Sadio Mane was 4th in the recent Ballon d'Or votes and analysts say he should have finished higher up. That is a testament to the progress the Senagalese has made since he joined Metz as a 19-year-old seven years ago to become one of the hottest properties in world football. Two years at Salzburg earned him a move to the Premier League, first with Southampton and then Liverpool, where he has become a global superstar.
Trending
He played in 2 consecutive Champions League final, winning the latter and finished as the joint top scorer in the league last season. He holds the record for the fastest hattrick in Premier League history when he scored thrice for Southampton against Sunderland in 2 minutes 56 seconds.
He has scored 19 goals in 69 appearances for the Teranga Lions, including a World Cup appearance.
