Arsenal told to launch surprise bid for Sadio Mane due to three stars
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reviews the Southampton game
Arsenal have been urged to bring former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane back to the Premier League this summer. Former Gunners star Emmanuel Frimpong believes Mikel Arteta’s side would be powerful if he added Mane to his attacking regiment.
The 31-year-old faces an uncertain future at Bayern Munich after his explosive bust-up with Leroy Sane earlier this month.
Mane allegedly punched Sane in the face after Bayern’s 3-0 defeat at Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.
He was suspended for one match by the Bundesliga giants and will reportedly be shown the exit door in the summer transfer window.
Frimpong believes Mane’s availability is an opportunity too good for Arsenal to turn down if they’re on the hunt for attacking firepower.

He told Lord Ping: “Sadio Mane would be a great signing for Arsenal, especially with the young players that we have. He will be able to play on the wings or down the middle.
“We have players like Trossard, Martinelli and Saka, and if we had Mane in the mix to get us through tough competitions, we would be powerful. I can imagine Sadio Mane in an Arsenal shirt, for sure.”
Frimpong also played down concerns that Mane’s actions toward Sane were a poor reflection of his personality.
He recalled when two Arsenal team-mates were involved in a similar incident, insisting it’s normal for tensions to be high in a dressing room.

“Bust-ups happen in football all the time. I remember at Arsenal, two players got into one behind closed doors. You just have to brush it off and move on,” Frimpong explained.
“In any relationship, whether it is marriage or friendship, you will have arguments with each other, and Leroy Sane and Sadio Mane aren’t any different.
“You would think that because of their similar names [Sane and Mane], they would get along, but unfortunately, they are not!
“I’m hearing that Mane apologised, and they have moved on. I think that is all that matters.”
