Top Five: Early Afcon Player of the Tournament contenders

 

Africa’s most expensive player in history, Sadio Mane, has made an early impression with Senegal as they seek a maiden Afcon title. The speedy attacker has been in electric form for Liverpool and demonstrated his class again in the Teranga Lions' opener, scoring a penalty after 10 minutes in their 2-0 victory over Tunisia. Having scored nine in 19 for Liverpool so far this season, we're expecting a few more goals when Senegal meet Zimbabwe and Algeria in their remaining group games.
