Barber shaves Liverpool FC striker Mo Salah's face into customer's head

A Reds-mad barber had proudly shown off his skills by shaving a portrait of Mo Salah into a customer's hair in honour of the Egyptian King.

Radouan El Alami, 38, is a massive Liverpool FC fan , and he decided to celebrate a sixth Champions League trophy by creating the bold design.

Despite living in Beni Mellal, a city in central Morocco, Radouan avidly follows the Reds - especially Mo Salah.

Speaking to the ECHO about his incredible design, Radouan said: "The reason for my decision to make this drawing is my love for the Liverpool team, and also my love Mohamed Salah. "

Radouan has worked as a barber since 2005 and said his work "is a gift for the team of Liverpool on the occasion of winning the European Cup. "

The intricate shaving work took more than two and a half hours to complete, with Radouan sharing a series of pictures of his creation.

Posing proudly next to the anonymous customer's head, Radouan holds up the silhouette on his phone that he modelled the look on.

Radouan told the ECHO why he chose Mo Salah as the player to re-create in human hair, saying: "I love this player because he is modest, I also love the Liverpool team a lot and I love the English Premier League."

He didn't even charge his customer for the cut, doing it free of charge "as an act of solidarity".

Radouan's bold haircuts have made him somewhat of a celebrity, with local media outlets reporting on one of his Christiano Ronaldo cuts.
