Grobbelaar: Liverpool's Mane, Salah and Matip 'three of the best' in Africa

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar believes the trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Joel Matip are the best crop of African players on the continent.

The Reds icon, who played 628 games for the Anfield giants over 13 years, was speaking at the opening of Liverpool’s International Academy in Mauritius at the weekend.

Grobbelaar heaped praise on the players who featured in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Arsenal as he considers them to be the “three of the best”.
