#3 Sadio Mane (£30 million), Rating – 8/10
Trending
There is a similarity between Sadio Mane and the top two players on the list. All three have made an instant impact at the club and were loved by the fans right away. Sadio Mane’s blistering pace was known beforehand along with his ability to take on defenders and defensive work-rate. However, he lacked consistency at Southampton.
When he was signed, there was a general feeling he was a secondary target in the wide-man shortlist for Klopp as Mario Gotze was considered the primary target. However, his debut goal against Arsenal convinced everyone in one go and he was the best player for Liverpool in most games. No wonder, he was named as the Player of the Year at the club.
13 goals and 5 assists from the right wing are a great return in his first season and at 25 years of age, he has all the tools to become a club legend. It can be considered premature to rank a signing this high on the list. However, if the way these top 2 won everyone over quite early is any indication, Mane is set to challenge them on this list.
