Egyptian Sports Minister Reveals Plans to Build Museum in Cairo Made in Mohamed Salah's Honour

In somewhat surprising news, Mohamed Salah will have a museum built in his honour in Egypt.

The Liverpool ace recently picked up his second consecutive African Player of the Year award last week and was heralded as an inspiration to Egyptians by sports minister Ashram Sobhy.

Salah broke the record for the most goals scored in a 38-game Premier League season last year, netting on 32 occasions. His exploits have seen the Egyptian rise as one of the greatest talents in the game, for which he will be honoured.

The news comes from the Express who quote Sobhy stating that the 26-year-old deserves the honour of a museum being erected in his name as his home country are proud of his footballing success.
