Incredible ‘next Sadio Mane’ is waiting for Liverpool to sign him

Liverpool have the chance to sign a player just like Sadio Mane in the transfer window.

The Senegalese winger was the kind of player who always brought a smile to the fans' face during his time at Anfield.

Mane played with the boisterous youthful energy that makes football the 'beautiful game.' He was an intelligent player with incredible skills and the ability to torment any Premier League defender on his day.

Even though Liverpool have brought in some brilliant players to replace Mane since his departure from the club in Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo - it's fair to say neither can really live up to the brilliance of the current Al Nassr star.

Mane was simply one of a kind. He was special. But there is a youngster right now who is showing shades of Mane at the very beginning of his career.

Why Bazoumana Toure is the 'next Sadio Mane'

Take a look at 18-year-old Bazoumana Toure and you might have a bit of a deja vu moment if you've ever watched clips of a young Mane at Red Bull Salzburg.

The Ivorian left-winger has the same explosive speed that the former Liverpool superstar once had and he's currently tearing up the Swedish top-flight for Hammarby.

He finished his debut season with nine goals and four assists in 24 matches for the club in the league and stood out not for his productivity in front of the goal but also for his overall play.

For example, out of players who averaged at least 6.5 dribbles per 90 in Sweden's top flight, Toure (6.86) had the best success rate at an impressive 60%.

He's a clever player who knows how to draw defenders in and beat them inside and outside using his quick feet and incredible speed - this is also what made Mane such a deadly weapon for Liverpool on the left-wing.

But Toure is more than just dribbles and forward bursting runs. One thing you could always guarantee about Mane was that he also tracked back and very much was able to press high up the pitch to win possession in Klopp's gegenpress.

Toure is exactly the same. He thrives at using his speed to close down opponents and winning possession for his team.

Among wingers, Toure averages the most defensive duels in Sweden's top flight last season (6.01 per 90) and he won 63% of those defensive duels as well.

Meanwhile, he also averages 2.73 interceptions and 5.05 recoveries per 90 as well making him an overall really accomplished defender from the front and a nightmare for full-backs.

At 18 years old, he is obviously still raw and he will need to continue his development elsewhere before he is ready for a move to Anfield - just like Mane did.

But this is a golden opportunity for Liverpool. Toure is available right now because the Swedish season has already concluded.

He is a super exciting talent the Reds can lock down for years to come, just like Michael Edwards has set out to do with his plans to establish a multi-club model.

Liverpool's multi-club model is not in place, but it should still be relatively easy to find a loan spell for Toure in the meantime while making sure he is on the books at Anfield.

Talents like him are rare. It's not every day a Sadio Mane regen comes along. And when he does appear on the radar Liverpool should do everything in their power to get him.
