The strange work of art, created by Mai Abdel Allah, is supposed to represent Salah as a great example of dedication and determination, and it is said to have taken a month to create the tribute piece.
The sculptor told the Egypt Independent that the statue is ‘opening his arms to the fans’ after scoring goals but one Twitter user questioned why the body what that of ‘an eight-year-old’s’.
The Twitter user said: ‘Did they run out of material for the body for the Mo Salah statue? Why does he have the body of an 8 year old?’
The Egyptian artist was satisfied with her effort following it’s unveiling. She told Egyptian newspaper al-Masry al-Youm that it is ‘distinguished.’
However, her work was said to be worse than the bust of Ronaldo at Madeira Airport, which was replaced with a new statue earlier this summer.
It has even been compared to the characters from Beavis and Butthead, and Marv from the Home Alone films.

The then Real Madrid star had the bust put on show at Madeira Airport before it was replaced
