Sadio Mane is ready to snub interest from Portugal to stay at Southampton.

Senegal winger Mane has made an impressive impact since arriving at St Mary’s from Red Bull Salzburg for £11.8m last summer.

The 22 year-old has bagged six goals in 17 starts and six sub appearances.

His list of admirers is growing due to his displays, with Benfica now plotting a move for Mane along with their fellow Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon.

However Mane, who signed a four-year deal last summer, is keen to remain at Saints and build on his first season in England.

Keeping hold of him will be good news for Saints boss Ronald Koeman.

The Dutchman took over during a turbulent transfer window last summer when Saints lost five key players.

And he is facing more upheaval this year and battles to hang onto Nathaniel Clyne, Morgan Schneiderlin, Jay Rodriguez and Toby Alderweireld.
