Salah statue mocked by fans

A

statue of Liverpool’s star striker Mohammad Salah has been unveiled in his home country of Egypt, drawing unfavourable comparisons with the muchridiculed bust of Ronaldo.

The statue unveiled in Sharm Al Shaikh shows Salah, who set a new Premier League goal-scoring record last season, in his trademark celebration pose with arms aloft to the crowd. The striker scored 32 goals in his debut season with Liverpool, won England’s player’s player of the year award and was nominated for Fifa’s world player of the year. (Agencies)
