The Liverpool forward is set to lead Egypt’s charge in Cameroon for an unprecedented eighth title.

Mohamed Salah has refreshed his look ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

The 28-year-old shared a picture of his suave new haircut to his Twitter followers on Monday, as he traveled to Cameroon on board a plane alongside Aston Villa midfielder Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet.

Salah is set to captain Egypt for the national team’s 25th appearance in the biennial African tournament.

The Pharaohs begin their AFCON campaign in Group D against Nigeria on January 11 at the Roumde Adjia Stadium in Garoua. They’ll then face Guinea-Bissau on January 15 and Sudan on January 19.

The North Africans, who have won the competition a record seven times, hope Salah and his teammates can lead them to a first title since 2010.
