LIVERPOOL star Mo Salah was over the moon after his waxwork was unveiled at Madame Tussauds.
The 29-year-old Egyptian went to visit the model in a private viewing and was thrilled with how it looks.
Speaking as he met his waxwork for the first time, the Liverpool forward said: “That looks exactly like me, it is like I am looking into the mirror. Does he have abs or no?”
He later added: “I couldn’t believe it when I stood alongside ‘me’, it’s like looking at my own reflection in a mirror. I can’t wait to see what the fans think.
“It’s been an amazing experience working with the artists at Madame Tussauds London to create my first ever wax figure.”
Tim Waters, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: “Mo Salah is one of the game’s greats, arguably the best in the world right now, and incredibly deserving of a Madame Tussauds London figure.”
Salah has excelled since returning to the Premier League with Liverpool four years ago.
The former Chelsea and Roma man has netted 137 times in just 214 games for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
He has also won the Premier League Golden Boot on two occasions and was instrumental in delivering the Merseyside club their first title in 30 years back in 2020.
And his prolific goalscoring form at Anfield was honoured in the waxwork as they placed his arms in the same way he often chooses to celebrate.
He was also dressed in the cream suit he wore when he was on the cover of the GQ Middle East magazine.
So far this season Salah has already netted 12 times for Liverpool in just 11 matches.
At the weekend he scored another goal of the season contender against Watford, before bagging a brace in a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Next up for Salah and Klopp’s Liverpool side is a trip to Old Trafford to take on rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
