Mohammed Salah is to have a museum built in Cairo to celebrate his achievements for club and country, the Egyptian government revealed. Salah won his second consecutive African Player of The Year last week and is the joint top scorer in the Premier League with leaders Liverpool.
Sports minister Ashraf Sobhy revealed plans to build the museum at the Gezira Youth Centre in Cairo.
Sobhy said: “The surprise that I was preparing for Salah is the construction of a museum bearing his name at the Gezira Youth Centre in Cairo.
“Salah is delivering outstanding performances with both Liverpool and the national team.
“All Egyptians are proud of his achievements.
“I hope that winning this year’s title [of Africa’s best player] will be a big boost for him to continue his achievements, and to deliver more outstanding performances at club level – as well as with the national team in the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt next June.â€
Last year Salah helped Liverpool reach the Champions League final, though they were beaten by Real Madrid 3-1.
The forward suffered a shoulder injury after being dragged to the ground by Sergio Ramos with the impact affecting the 26-year-old’s World Cup campaign with Egypt in the summer.
This season Salah has netted 17 goals in all competitions – with 14 in the Prem – as Liverpool currently sit seven points clear at the top of the table as they look to win the league for the first time since 1990.
