• Ghanaian football legend Abedi Pele insists Bayern Munich's interest in Sadio Mane will have a positive impact on Africa
• The German giants are interested in securing the services of the Senegalese forward, having already presented two bids
• Abedi Pele, who starred for Marseille in the early 90's, spent the twilight of his career in Germany with 1860 Munich

Legendary Ghanaian footballer, Abedi Pele, has expressed his view on Sadio Mane's links with German giants Bayern Munich.

The German champions are interested in signing the Senegalese forward, and have already seen two bids turned down by Liverpool.

Abedi Pele, who was speaking before the Borussia Dortmund legends clash with African Giants, said a move to Germany by Mane will bring huge publicity to Africa.

“You know Osei [Sammy] Kuffour was in Bayern and very successful in Bayern so another African being in Bayern will be great for Africa,” Ayew said as quoted by Goal.

“It will give the continent a lot of publicity and will give Bayern huge publicity in Africa,” he added.

“Mane comes from Senegal, so Senegal will have a very strong mileage in the world. He will be the ambassador for Senegal and Bayern.

"Let us hope what he has done in Liverpool, he will be able to do much better in Bayern. Then it will give the African continent another push.”

Abedi Pele spent the latter part of his career in Germany, where African players made huge impact for their clubs, including Sammy Osei Kuffuor.

The 1982 AFCON winner's best days were with French giants Marseille, who helped win the 1993 UEFA Champions League.
