After his sensational season for the Reds last term and an appearance at the World Cup with Egypt, the 26-year-old has become a national hero and symbol of hope for Egyptian youngsters.
The World Youth Forum being held in Sharm El Sheikh has revealed a sculpture by Mai Abdel Allah to pay homage to Salah and hail him as an example of dedication and determination.
However, with its tiny arms, legs and body and relatively large head, the statue has immediately been the subject of much ridicule on social media with some suggesting it is worse than last year's Ronaldo effort in Madeira.
