WHO'S WHO?
Mohamed Salah comes face-to-face with his incredible Egyptian lookalike
Doppelganger Ahmed Bahaa, 30, met Liverpool ace Salah in his home village of Nagrig in 2016
ONE Mo Salah is surely enough to bring the world's defenders out in a cold sweat.
But footage has emerged of a dead ringer for the Liverpool and Egypt star meeting the man himself.
Doppelganger Ahmed Bahaa, 30, came face-to-face with Salah, pictured above on the right, in his home village of Nagrig in 2016.
And it looks like Bahaa is understandably getting plenty of attention, with a video showing him being stopped for selfies with fans.
He is said to regularly appear on Egyptian TV and has over around 4,700 Twitter followers.
Bahaa is likely to get even more attention this summer if Salah can survive the remainder of the season without injury and lead Egypt in their first World Cup campaign in 28 years.
