Mohamed Salah's statue in Egypt criticised for poor resemblance, Twitter left in splits

Liverpool's star forward Mohamed Salah's statue has become the talk of the town for it's disproportionate size and it didn't take long for Twitter to react on the matter. 

Mohamed Salah Salah's statue in Egypt was highly criticised

A bronze statue of Mohamed Salah unveiled at an international youth gathering in Egypt has been criticized for its poor resemblance to the Liverpool striker.

The statue depicts Salah with a disproportionately large head and small arms stretched in the celebratory pose the 26-year-old Egyptian took in the latter part of last season.

The figure, made by artist Mai Abdullah, has Salah's trademark curly hair and is standing on what appeared to be a pot for plants.

Salah has not publicly commented on the statue.

Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo had a bust unveiled that was also criticized for its lack of a resemblance. Twitter didn't take long to react on the matter.
