Ismaila Sarr and Sadio Mane (right) helped Senegal reach this year's Africa Cup of Nations finalWatford's Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr has credited Liverpool forward Sadio Mane for improving his game and helping him settle in England. Sarr signed for Premier League side Watford from Ligue 1 Rennes in a club-record deal worth more than £25m. "When I arrived, he sent messages saying 'welcome to the Premier League, welcome to England' and we also talk when we are in the national team. Like Mane, Sarr started his career at Generation Foot, a football academy in Senegal's capital Dakar, before moving to Metz in France. We are not going there just to watch Sadio play - we will also have to play," Sarr said.
