Liverpool made some brilliant signings in the summer transfer window, but it is one of their established stars who has made the biggest difference this season. The Reds have managed to win their opening four matches in the Premier League, and Senegalese winger Sadio Mane has been at the heart of every single victory so far. The former Southampton man has begun this campaign on fire after scoring four goals in as many starts for the Merseyside club before going into the international break.
Mane Could Match Salah’s Records From Last Season
Mane is looking like he could be Jurgen Klopp’s star player this season and could walk in the footsteps of his teammate Mohamed Salah, who had a record-breaking season last term, winning the golden boot as well as the player of the year awards. The Senegalese forward is looking sharper than ever and has already made some significant contributions on the pitch.
If he can continue his excellent form after the international break, there is every chance for him to challenge for top individual honours this season. He has the potential to become the Merseyside club’s top-scorer at the end of this campaign, so the opposing teams need to be more wary of his threat.
Early Signs Are Promising
Mane impressed in patches for the Reds last season, but he was also operating under the shadow of Salah which could be one of the main reasons why he failed to hit to 25-goal mark. However, now that he has become Liverpool’s main goal-getter, things could finally fall in place for him as the Merseysiders look to mount a realistic title challenge in the top tier of English football.
The 26-year-old attacker is lightning quick and is one of the fastest players in the Premier League. He is also quite useful while dribbling with the ball and has now developed an eye for the final pass. Mane is growing his productivity in front of goal and his superb start to this season could be a sign of things to come!
The Stars Are Shining: Can Mane Lead Liverpool To Premier League Success?
The Senegalese frontman could very well be Jurgen Klopp’s main weapon this season. Both Salah and Roberto Firmino could drive defenders away to create space for Mane to capitalise on. Keep a lookout for the Senegalese international as he might be the forward to lead Liverpool to their long-awaited Premier League glory.
