Sports News of Tuesday, 7 January 2020Source: Goal.comMahrez or Mane: Who deserves to be named African Footballer of the Year? Thus, unsurprisingly, everyone seems to be focused on Liverpool’s Salah and Mane for the 2019 African Player of the Year, while somewhat neglecting 2016 winner Mahrez, who thrived in the calendar year for Manchester City and Algeria. In 2019, Mahrez won four titles with club and country, having an impact whenever he was needed by both. In 2019, Mane went up a level, tying for the Premier League Golden Boot and lifting the Uefa Champions League in Madrid. Also, while he does not have that single moment of euphoria, he does have perhaps the most complete showing of any African player in the year.
