The Egyptian had a chance to see the model in a private showing, and he was really impressed.
”That looks exactly like me, it is like I am looking into the mirror,” the Liverpool forward exclaimed upon first seeing his waxwork. Do his abs look real to you?
In a later statement, he elaborated, “I couldn’t believe it when I stood alongside’me,’ it’s like gazing at my own image in a mirror. I’m dying to hear the feedback from the audience.
“It’s been an amazing experience working with the artists at Madame Tussauds London to create my first ever wax figure.”
When asked why Mo Salah should get a wax figure at Madame Tussauds London, the attraction’s general manager, Tim Waters, replied, “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 thrived in the Premier League ever since he rejoined Liverpool four years ago.
The 137 goals scored by the former Chelsea and Roma player in just 214 games for Jurgen Klopp’s squad is an incredible feat.
In addition to his two Golden Boot awards, he was vital in leading the Merseyside club to its first Premier League championship in 30 years in 2020.
His record of goal scoring success at Anfield was commemorated by having his arms positioned in the same way he usually does when he scores.
The cream suit he wore for the cover of GQ Middle East magazine was also on him.
Liverpool, led by Salah and Klopp, will face their archrivals, Manchester United, on the road at Old Trafford this coming Sunday.
