John Aldridge: “I keep saying to him: ‘Golden Boot, Golden Boot!'”

John Aldridge believes Sadio Mane has a great chance to win the Premier League Golden Boot this season after he netted again at the weekend against Fulham.

Mane now has 20 goals in 17 Premier League appearances, drawing level with Mohamed Salah in the goal-scoring charts.

And Aldridge, who scored 63 times in 104 appearances for Liverpool, has even told Mane that he can win the accolade.

“Every time I’ve seen Sadio Mane over the past six weeks I keep saying to him: ‘Golden Boot, Golden Boot!’ because I know he’s got it in his locker to do it,” Aldridge said, as quoted by LiverpoolFC.com.

“He’s very shy and always replies to me: “No, no, no” but all of a sudden he’s got a chance. He or Mo Salah both have an opportunity.”

He added: “For me as a centre-forward, I believe that winning the Golden Boot is a very prestigious honour.

“It’s a fantastic achievement for any player to be top scorer in their division but to do it in the Premier League is extra special.

“Sadio has now got himself into a situation in which he’s got an outside chance of getting it – although I don’t think it’s got anything to do with me telling him!”
