Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has been impressed with Sadio Mane's input at Anfield, claiming he's now worth triple the amount he was purchased for, after a fine display against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The Reds secured his services in a £30 million deal from Southampton in the summer of 2016, though he had previously played for Salzburg between 2012 and 2014.
The 27-year-old Senegalese was at his best once again when he faced his former employers at the Red Bull Arena, assisting Naby Keita's opening goal.
"He’s got a few friends here [at Salzburg]. He’s not the same player he was when he was there,” Crouch told BT Sport.
“We were talking about £30 million being a lot of money, but he’s worth treble that now. It’s incredible his improvement - his finishing, his passing. You know what he’s going to do at times, but you just can’t stop it.”
The 2-0 victory was more than enough for Liverpool to make it to the Champions League Round of 16 which takes place next February.
They hold an eight-point lead atop the Premier League standings and host Watford on Saturday afternoon.
