#4 Sadio Mane
The 27-year-old has been unstoppable since he joined Liverpool in 2016. The Senegalese superstar seemed to hit the peak of his career last season, contributing 22 goals and an assist from 36 matches in the Premier League. He was also a Premier League joint-top scorer alongside teammate Mohamed Salah and Arsenal forward Pierre Aubameyang.
Mane was also excellent in the Champions League, scoring 4 goals, including 2 against German champions Bayern Munich in the Round of 16. He has further cemented his reputation as one of the best forwards after sending Senegal national team into Africa Cup of Nations final.
The Liverpool star was unarguably Senegal's most important player in the international tournament, contributing 3 goals and an assist from 6 appearances. Thus, he is slightly ahead of Ronaldo in this list at the moment. However, Mane was still well below the likes of Lionel Messi in terms of performance last season.
