Dejan Lovren introduces Liverpool's new signing Hamed Mahrous Ghaly

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has revealed that star man Mohamed Salah has left the club.

But the Reds have moved quickly to sign his replacement, Salah’s Egyptian compatriot Hamed Mahrous Ghaly.

Lovren posed for a photo with Ghaly on Instagram. He wrote: “Mo is gone, so I have a new friend…Welcome Hamed Mahrous Ghaly.”

Some commentators have noted that Ghaly looks suspiciously like a beardless Mo Salah.

Coincidentally, Salah also posted on social media to show off his new look. His use of emojis suggests he isn’t pleased with the results.
