The museum’s official account uploaded photos of Salah next to his wax statue, captioned: “Fresh off the pitch and red carpet ready, the King of Egypt has arrived.”
Salah’s statue wears a white suit, and raises his hand to the sky – a reference to his usual celebration on scoring goals.
The museum in London announced in January 2020 that it was preparing a wax statue of Salah.
