Asamoah Gyan, the former captain of the Black Stars, has selected Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah of Liverpool as the faces of African football.
While on the phone with Mane via the phone of another star El Hadji Diouf, who is now in Ghana for the launch of the Ghanaian’s autobiography named ‘LeGyandary,’ Gyan praised the two.
The African best scorer at the World Cup lauded the Senegalese and pledged his support to the Liverpool striker.
“We’re happy for you. Nice goal last night and congratulations. Your guy (Diouf) told me about you and he said he’ll call so that I speak to you,” Gyan said.
“You’re the man of the moment and we’re praying for you. Everything is going to be fine… We watch you every week, you and Salah are the face of Africa now and we pray for you.”
On April 27, 2022, Sadio Mane scored in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Mane is on the verge of making his third Champions League appearance if Liverpool win the second match.
