#1 Sadio Mane
Mane joined Liverpool for a fee of £34 million last summer, becoming the most expensive African footballer at the time. To his credit, Mane won the Liverpool's Player of the Season award and was included in the PFA Team of the Year despite missing out on the latter half of last season. He ended the season with 13 goals and five assists in only 27 appearances.
He has begun this season from exactly where left off last time around. The most in-form player at the moment in England, the Senegalese forward is feared by the defenders in the Premier League. Mane has scored in each of his three outings for Liverpool so far this season. He rounded off the month in some style with his brilliant goal against Arsenal at Anfield.
Judging by the standards of his performances, Sadio Mane is definitely amongst the favourites to win the Premier League Player of the Month Award for August.
