Mohamed Salah recently astonished fans by showcasing a stunning new hairstyle and toned physique on social media. He opted to lose his signature afro, sharing his new look on Instagram and receiving positive comments from fans.

Fans have speculated that the Egyptian forward received a hair transplant this summer, adding to the mystery surrounding his metamorphosis.

Salah’s professional situation at Liverpool is also changing. Following Jurgen Klopp’s resignation following a successful nine-year career, new manager Arne Slot will lead the club into the 2018 Premier League season.

Salah took to social media platform X on Saturday to reveal images of his new look, including one by the pool that showed off his freshly toned abs.

Just hours after being posted the post had racked up more than 58,000 likes and four million total views.

One fan wrote: ‘Mo Salah is the 6288915th example of men getting better with age.’

Another agreed: ‘I’ve never seen a player increase his aura after a buzz cut.’

A further fan joked: ‘Three things and certain in life. Death, Taxes and Mo salah scoring 19 goals and 10 assists next season.’

A fourth fan wrote: ‘Since I was about 12 I’ve had a theory that footballers play infinitely better when they’ve had a fresh trim. Congratulations on your 40 G/A next season Mo’

Meanwhile a fifth added: ‘Our leading man just out there having a proper holiday while everyone else is stressing. Love that for him.’

Despite a hamstring injury in the new year, the Egyptian proved as important to Liverpool as ever in his sixth season at Anfield.

18 Premier League goals in 32 games is his lowest league return since joining the club in 2017, highlighting his outstanding performances at Anfield.
