#4 Sadio Mane (Senegal, Liverpool)
Sadio Mane was a revelation this season for Liverpool and is 4th among the top contenders for the award. The Senegalese international was in outstanding form as Liverpool chased Manchester City right to the last day of the Premier League, but finished second. However, all those disappointments were washed away when Liverpool won the 2018/19 Champions League on 1st June.
Mane finished the season with 26 goals and 2 assists from 49 games. He was a vital player for Jurgen Klopp in a season where Salah and Firmino didn't play as per their lofty standards. He shared the goal scoring responsibilities with the Egyptian, with both men ending the season with 22 goals and thus winning the Premier League Golden Boot, along with Arsenal's Aubameyang.
The Senegalese showed a massive improvement in his gameplay from last season, using his speed and skills to perfection and has developed into one of the most lethal attackers in Europe this season.
