Liverpool’s record goalscorer Mohamed Salah has had a waxwork of him unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London today.

The 29-year-old football star said it was “like looking at my own reflection in a mirror”, adding that having the statue was “a blessing”.

The Egyptian forward won the Golden Boot in 2017-18 after breaking the Premier League record for goals in a 38-game season with 32. He won the award again the following season, this time sharing it with team mate Sadio Mane and Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Hold on a Mo!?
