2. Sadio Mane

The Senegalese superstar began his rise to stardom shining for Southampton in the Premier League as he made the most of his 72 matches played for the Saints.

Liverpool loved him so much they splashed £34 million on the winger to get him to Merseyside. 120 goals, 38 assists and all the trophies you could win later, it's clear it was a winning move for both player and club.

Sadio was at times overshadowed by Mohamed Salah and all his brilliance, but there were plenty of occasions where it was clear he was equally as important, if not in the same exact way.

He mastered the Klopp gegenpressing technique and his limitless stamina allowed him to run defenses ragged both on and off the ball. He also has a great ability to finish from almost any angle on the pitch.

He was one of the most important players at Liverpool during the Klopp era and he scored some huge, huge goals in his time with the club.

An unceremonious end to his Reds tenure aside, Mane was one of the very best players to dress for both Southampton and Liverpool.
