Top 10 Liverpool players of the decade

#3 Sadio Mane

One of the best in the world.

Sadio Mane was Jürgen Klopp's first high profile signing at Liverpool, joining from Southampton for £34 million. He hit the ground running with a peach of a goal against Arsenal on his debut, before going on to play a crucial part in the Reds finishing in the top four in 2016-17.

Mane is a dynamic player whose unmatched energy makes for a very exciting prospect for Liverpool fans every time he steps on the pitch. The Senegalese star developed a habit of scoring key goals for the Anfield club and even scored in every round of the Champions League in 2017-18, including in the final against Real Madrid.

Mane enjoyed a sensational season last time out, sharing the Golden Boot with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the previously mentioned Mohamed Salah. He just about edges Salah in this list for his contributions in his first season at Liverpool.

This season, Mane looks even more dangerous and already has 13 goals to his name. His exhilarating pace and cunning trickery continue to shock backlines across England. Out of everybody in the current Liverpool team, Mane might have the biggest will to win as evidenced by the passion he shows in every game both, on and off the pitch.

In a time where Mo Salah has been breaking scoring records left, right and centre, Sadio Mane has stepped up his game and refused to go unnoticed. He truly is a gift of talent for Jürgen Klopp and the Reds.

There is a reason why Leo Messi voted for him to win The Best FIFA Men's Player award.
