#3 Sadio Mane
Many football fans weren't happy when Senegalese attacker Sadio Mane ranked outside the final three in the running for the Ballon d'Or award this year. Such was his relevance in Liverpool's success during the previous campaign.
The winger has returned with a big bang this season as he continues to provide answers for The Reds in front of goal. Mane already has 10 goals and 8 assists to his name in 18 Premier League appearances so far - helping Jurgen Klopp's men keep their lead at the top of the table.
The Senegalese international has also recorded 2 goals and 2 assists in the Champions League. With his brilliant performances, he's further strengthening the opinion that he deserves more from the footballing world. If he continues like this, he'd surely be a big threat to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's dominance.
