LIVERPOOL – Liverpool’s Muslim star Muhammad Salah has won the hearts of his fans once again after fulfilling a young boy’s wish and gifting him his match t-shirt.
Salah’s acknowledgment of the young fan was well-received by the Anfield crowd after the boy had sat through the 2-2 draw at Anfield holding a cardboard sign, The Daily Mail reported.
The sign simply read: “Mo Salah, can I have your shirt please.”
One supporter filmed the exchange and called Salah ‘the Egyptian King’ as he rewarded the young kid for his patience throughout the match.
