Senegal international Sadio Mane is ecstatic after being named Premier League PFA Fans’ Player of the Year for 2019-20.

Football fans all over the country recognised Mane’s terrific displays in the previous campaign, voting for him as he pipped Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold to the honour.

Mane scored 18 times and produced seven assists in the top flight last term en route to winning the championship, but insists he’s now looking to raise those levels.

“In part of football it’s no secret, you just need to push yourself always and try to work harder than you did before,” Mane told the club’s official website.

“I was really happy and I want to say thank you to all the fans around the world who voted for me.

“It has been an amazing season for me and my teammates and I’m really happy and really honoured to win this,” he added.

“The only thing I have to say, I want to say again, thank you. There has been so many amazing players who made a great season but they voted for me.

“I just want to say thank you again and I will push myself harder to be a better player.”

Mane is also the reigning CAF African Footballer of the Year having won the award earlier this year. (African Football)
