The World Cup is here and we just can't keep calm. Egypt is participating in this year's tournament after two decades of missing in action, and the name on everyone's lips is Mohamed Salah. The curly-haired 25-year-old is quite the eye candy, and with an estimated net worth of Ksh 200 million, is the full package. Here are a few reasons to love Mo Salah.
Talent: The man has undeniable talent. With more than 40 goals to his name this season, he is definitely up there challenging for the Ballon d'Or (best player in the world crown) alongside mainstays Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. His speed and dribbling abilities have even led him to get the nickname 'Egyptian Messi'.

Physique: It's the bouncy hair, the brown eyes, the mocha complexion, the full beard, the boyish charm, the Colgate smile, the barrel chest, the brawny thighs… we could go on and on. The man is simply Adonis personified.
Family man: Mo is a very family-oriented man with a beautiful wife Maggi and their lovely daughter Makkah who he adores and showers with love outside the pitch.

Lifestyle: He earns about £90,000-a-week in wages but you wouldn't tell from Mo's down-to-earth persona. Yes, he owns a Porsche 911 Turbo S, Audi QV and a Mercedes GLE, but you're more likely to find him in his preferred Toyota Camry or riding his bike, which is his favourite thing to do.
Religious: You'll spot Mo holding out his hands in prayer before the kick-off of every match and whenever he scores a goal, Mo performs sujood, the Islamic act of kneeling then prostrating in prayer. Ain't he just the perfect human being? Sigh!

Mo Salah fever keeps soaring and as it hits its heights during the World Cup, we'll be alongside everyone else, watching his every move keenly, swooning and counting our blessings that we even exist alongside such a perfect gentleman.
