Arsenal legend Ian Wright says Liverpool’s Sadio Mane is worth at least £200m.
Liverpool progressed to the group stages of the Champions League after beating German outfit 1899 Hoffenheim 4-2 in the second leg, and 6-3 on aggregate.
The Reds were leading 2-1 from the first leg, and almost wrapped up the tie with three quick goals in the opening 20 minutes.
Emre Can scored twice, while Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino added their names on the scoresheet.
One player who earned huge plaudits from fans and pundits alike is Liverpool’s Sadio Mane, the £34 million attacking midfielder who joined from Southampton last summer, as reported by BBC.
Mane made a huge impact last season, and has started the 2017/18 campaign with a bang.
Philippe Coutinho, on the other hand, has garnered wide attention following Barcelona’s interest in him, and Liverpool’s willingness to keep hold of him, rejecting two bids in the process.
The Brazilian is a key player for Jurgen Klopp, and the Reds have slapped a transfer fee of over £100 million for his signature.
However, Mane’s ability to score regularly from the wide areas and creating chances for others make him a valuable asset as well.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright took to social networking site Twitter to shower praise on Mane, saying he’s worth at least twice the figure Liverpool want from Coutinho.
