#PLStories- Sadio Mane reveals his hunger for more trophies ahead of AFCON #LFC

Sadio Mane has admitted he would ‘trade’ all of the trophies won during his career to date if it meant he would be victorious at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Liverpool forward will represent his home country Senegal at the upcoming tournament in Cameroon, which gets underway on Monday.

Sadio Mane said: “When I was a kid, they called me Ballonbuwa (ball wizard), but I was always more of a Gaynde (lion): ruthless, explosive, a hunter. I have been hunting my whole career, but no matter what I have caught – I am still hungry. My people have waited a long time. I would trade it all to win this one. This is my time. The Lion roars.”

One player the 29-year-old will be shaping up against during the group stages of AFCON is his Reds team-mate Naby Keita, who will be representing Guinea.
