Senegal went one better earlier this year as they beat Mohamed Salah’s Egypt in the final on penalties.

Dieng plays for Marseille and he scored twice at the African Cup of Nations.

The 21-year-old has praised Mane as he suggested that the Liverpool star is “happy to speak about Marseille”:

“He’s an exceptional player. Sadio is someone who works hard in training and you can see it in his games,” Dieng said (via Sport Witness).

“He’s also someone who gives us a lot of tips. In training, on penalties, he calls me, gives me ideas. He wants us to go forward, to progress.

“He also loves OM a lot. He told me he watches all the OM games. As soon as we arrive in the national team, he’s happy, he speaks about Marseille. I’d like for him to join us and play here one day.”

Elsewhere, according to reports, Liverpool are interested in signing Lille youngster Amadou Onana.

The 20-year-old midfielder joined the French champions from Hamburg last year for a reported £6.3m fee.
