Salah and Mane are an inspiration for young Africans - Mohamed Sissoko

Liverpool forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are a source of inspiration to millions of children in Africa, according to former Reds midfielder Mohamed Sissoko.

The frontmen shared last season’s Golden Boot, with Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, having scored 22 Premier League goals as they pushed eventual league winners Manchester City to the death in the title race.
