'One of the top three wingers in the world' - Liverpool coach claims £34m Mane has exceeded expectations

 

Jurgen Klopp's right-hand man, Peter Krawietz, has been surprised by the efforts of the Senegalese forward

Liverpool assistant manager Peter Krawietz says Sadio Mane has exceeded expectations following his £34 million ($47m) move from Southampton in 2016, to become "one of the top three players in the world in his position as a winger".

Five years at Anfield for the Senegalese forward have delivered 218 appearances, 97 goals, a Champions League crown and Premier League title.

Mane has starred across a memorable era of success for the Reds, with considerable value found from a man who ticks all of the right boxes for Jurgen Klopp's style of football.
