'I can be better' - Saints' Djenepo believes he can surpass the feats of Mane

Published on: 04 June 2020

Southampton winger Moussa Djenepo has set his sights on emulating former St Mary's favourite Sadio Mane.

Djenepo joined the Saints from Standard Leige last summer for £14million, and has two goals and two assists to his name in his first Premier League season.

He is the latest in the long line of exciting wide players to appear for the South coast club, with Mane also on that list.

The Senegal forward made his name in England at Southampton, before moving to Liverpool where he has established himself as one of the most potent attackers in Europe.

And Djenepo believes he has the ability to match Mane, if not better him.

'Sadio is a big inspiration for me. I like him, he's a very big player,' he told talkSPORT.

'But I think I can be better [than him] if I work hard. Sadio is a very big player, and I'm young and I need to learn more.

'In the future we will see. I will do my best to become the next Sadio Mane.'
