Transfer fee will not stop Mane from providing pleasure on the pitch for Liverpool

Liverpool summer signing Sadio Mane insists that he won't let the burden of his price tag affect his performances for the Reds.

The 24-year-old winger, who joined Liverpool from Southampton in a £34million move this summer, showed a sign of things to come by scoring a brilliant individual goal in the season opening 4-3 win over Arsenal on Sunday.

"I am really happy to score my first Premier League goal for Liverpool," he said.

"I hope I will continue to find pleasure, and give pleasure on the pitch, too.

"I am very happy to be at Liverpool. As for the transfer fee it's not a thing that is in my head. The most important thing is to give everything and be the best on the pitch.

"It was not easy on Sunday because we were facing a good team who play well on the ball and took advantage of their chances to score goals.

"So it was important to get three points. It was important for our confidence and we will continue to work hard to be able to attain our objectives.

"We have a good team. There is positive competition. Each of us is trying to give their best for the club. I think the competition will help us be in top condition."
