Mo Salah statue in Egypt raises eyebrows

A sculpture of Liverpool and Egypt football star Mohamed Salah unveiled in his home country is raising eyebrows on social media.
The artwork was put on display on Sunday at the World Youth Forum (WYF) being held in Sharm al-Sheikh.

The artwork of Salah recreates his famous goal celebration pose

It depicts the striker with his arms out wide in the goalscoring celebration he is known for.
But people have suggested it looks more like singer Leo Sayer or Marv the burglar from the film Home Alone.
The sculpture of Salah joins a long list of other sculptures in the football world that have left fans scratching their heads about likeness.
It has drawn comparisons to a bust of Cristiano Ronaldo which was widely mocked after it was unveiled at Madeira airport last year.
