He has 49 caps for the national team and is extremely dangerous down the left wing, where he can take on defenders at pace and also shoot powerfully and accurately at goal. He scored 20 goals for Liverpool this season, which included one in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
Kalidou Koulibaly:
The powerful centre-back is one of the hottest properties in Europe and is rightly nicknamed as ‘the Wall’ by fans. He is tall and physically strong, and yet, he possesses a wonderful passing ability along with his aerial prowess. He has made 164 appearances for Napoli in the last four seasons and is extremely versatile as he can play as a centre-back, left or right fullback and even a defensive midfielder.
Keita Balde:
The 23-year-old winger was born in Catalonia and was a part of the famed youth academy at FC Barcelona, from where he was loaned out after a dressing room prank. He refused to re-sign for Barca and went with Lazio, amidst interest from Real Madrid and Manchester United. He scored 31 goals in four seasons for the Roman team, before making a big money move to Monaco last year. Born to Senegalese parents, he opted to play for Senegal and made his debut in 2017. An extremely dangerous winger who can struggle to find consistency, he can wreak havoc along with Mane and prove to be a game-changer for his team.
