The growing trend of bizarre statues of star footballers has a new victim: Mohamed Salah.
Following the unveiling of strange effigies of Cristiano Ronaldo outside a Portuguese airport and Diego Maradona in India, a new one honouring Liverpool star Salah has been put on display in Egypt.
After his sensational season for the Reds last term and an appearance at the World Cup with Egypt, the 26-year-old has become a national hero and symbol of hope for Egyptian youngsters.
The World Youth Forum being held in Sharm El Sheikh has revealed a sculpture by Mai Abdel Allah to pay homage to Salah and hail him as an example of dedication and determination.
