Mane, Salah, Ronaldo: Which current Premier League players have the most goal contributions?
Sadio Mane enjoyed the finest night of his glittering professional career last Sunday.
The world-class winger scored Senegal’s match-winning penalty in the final of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations against Egypt, a strike that secured the coveted trophy for the first time in the country’s history.
It’s a moment Mane will forever cherish and one that will see him go down as one of the greatest footballers of the 21st century.
The 29-year-old will certainly be remembered as a Premier League legend when he eventually hangs up his boots for good and that point is backed up by his impressive stats.
At the time of writing, Mane ranks 30th on Transfermarkt in terms of goal and assist figures combined among all players to have graced the English top-flight from 1992/93 onawards.
And in terms of footballers still active in the Premier League, Mane sits sixth in terms of goal contributions. Is he ahead of Liverpool colleague Mohamed Salah? Well, let’s find out the answer to that question…
