Oct 22 2021

After what some have been calling the best season of his career, Mohamed Salah has been immortalised in quite a unique way after having a wax replica of himself erected in Madame Tussauds in London. The popular wax museum and tourist attraction inaugurated the Liverpool star’s statue on Friday.

Salah has been in close contact with Madame Tussauds’ team of artists in recent weeks in order to have his measurements taken to ensure a completely accurate and identical portrayal of his resemblance. The figure can be found in the museum’s “Awards Party” zone together with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Brad Pitt, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and David and Victoria Becham, amongst others.
