Former Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger believes Sadio Mane is the best player of the season and should get the Ballon d'Or instead of Lionel Messi or Virgil van Dijk.
Wenger has emphasized Mane's character, identifying him as a great fighter on the pitch, who's not scared of any kind of opponent.
Mane was one of the key players in Liverpool's last season's successes. He scored 22 Premier League goals to share Golden Boot with his teammate Mohamed Salah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Van Dijk and Messi, meanwhile, are two favourites for Ballon d'Or. Van Dijk has so far won UEFA Player of the Season award, while Messi was awarded FIFA Best Player of the season recently.
"Mane was the outstanding character, I would say – because he is a fighter… and efficient." Wenger said during Q&A (via beIN Sports)
"He’s not scared of anybody. At the moment, he deserves huge credit." Frenchman added.
