Sado Mane joins Klopp
Mane became the fifth Saints star in the past couple of years to join Liverpool after completing his £30million switch yesterday.
Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert have all taken the well-trodden path from St Mary’s to Anfield.
Mane, who has been handed the squad number of 19, admits he is yet to speak to Clyne about his move.
No, I haven’t yet. I know him very well, he is a nice guy – a great guy – and I am very pleased to work with him at Liverpool again and hopefully we’re going to enjoy the season with all the other guys,” Mane said in his first official interview published on the club’s website.
“But I want to thank all at Southampton Football Club and all the people there because they were amazing, especially the fans.
“If I am here today, I can say it is because of Southampton.
“I learned a lot and I worked with nice people. Today I am happy and looking forward to being at Liverpool.”
Mane has also revealed why he is excited about next season.
He said: “I think this season will be special.
“I am excited to meet all the guys and enjoying the season. I am looking forward to playing with the great players like Sturridge, Coutinho, Lallana and James [Milner].”
