Sadio Mane has emerged as the best signing of Jurgen Klopp 's reign at Liverpool - according to legendary defender Jamie Carragher .
The German boss arrived at Anfield in 2015 and has assembled a high-quality squad of players that have stamped their authority as one of the biggest powerhouses in world football.
Klopp has taken the Reds to back-to-back Champions League finals in the past two years, claiming Europe's biggest prize with victory over Tottenham in Madrid in June.
While their Premier League rivals were splashing the cash this summer, Klopp sat quietly - confident in the knowledge that he already has everything he requires.
Several high-profile figures have come through the doors at Melwood including Roberto Firmino , Virgil Van Dijk , Mohamed Salah and Alisson but Carragher thinks Mane has been the best.
He told the Telegraph: "You could make a strong case obviously for Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk or Alisson following the incremental improvement that has coincided with each of their arrivals.
"But I still maintain that the correct answer to this particular question is Sadio Mane."
Carragher holds the Senegal international in the highest esteem and has claimed that he is the best winger Liverpool have seen since John Barnes .
He said: "So how do you define 'world class'? I judge it by thinking about a fantasy world starting XI and whether any given player would either get straight into the team or at least be in the best two or three in the world in their position.
"As left-sided attackers I would rate Mane, Raheem Sterling and Eden Hazard as currently the best, especially now that Ronaldo has become more of a striker and the struggles of Neymar since the World Cup.
" I also think that Mane is Liverpool's first genuinely world-class winger since John Barnes and the club's best wide left player for almost 30 years."
