The Liverpool star is representing his home country of Egypt at the ongoing 2021 AFCON finals in Cameroon.

The Sun reports Salah has a deal with Adidas who have now produced gold and red boot for him to wear at the continental showpiece.

The boots have "MO" marked into the back of the left boot and crown, to signify the forward's "The Egyptian King" tag on the other.

The two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner had his first feel of the incredible boots during Egypt's Group D opener against Nigeria on Tuesday, January 12, at Roumde Adija Stadium.

However, the Liverpool ace was unable to help his side from losing as the Super Eagles clawed Egypt 1-0.

Leicester City star Kelechi Iheanacho was Nigeria's match hero as his goal on the half-hour mark made all the difference in the mouthwatering clash.

Salah and The Pharaohs will be hoping to get their campaign back on track when they take on Guinea-Bissau in their next group fixture slated for Saturday, January 15.

Egypt also have Sudan in their pool who they will play later on Wednesday, January 19.

Sierra Leone hold Algeria

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Sierra Leone have handed reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions, Algeria, a reality check after forcing them to a frustrating 0-0 draw in their Group E curtain-raiser.

Despite their relatively superior squad, the Desert Foxes were unable to penetrate through Sierra Leone's stubborn defence.

Algeria's strong squad featured Man City superstar Riyad Mahrez, Lyon's Islam Slimani, and Yacine Brahimi.
