Egyptian fan tells Mo Salah to ‘put Hendo on the wing’ in brilliant new ad

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Liverpool, Mohamed Salah

A trio of Liverpool players feature in a new advertisement for Egypt-based Bank of Alexandria (AlexBank) and it might just be the best thing you see on the internet today.

Reds forward Mohamed Salah along with midfielders Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain can be seen showing off their best acting skills in a new Egyptian commercial to mark the start of the festival of Ramadan.

The promo starts with an Egyptian football fan looking utterly frustrated by Liverpool’s inability to score a goal during their game against Everton.

As Salah magically appears beside him, the said fan suggests the Reds forward to play captain Jordan Henderson on the wing besides other out-of-the-box ideas.

The fast-paced dialogue, the costume switch and the cameos from the midfield duo make it a worthwhile experience, check out the ad below –

What’s next for the Reds trio

Jordan Henderson is still out of action due to an injury but the duo of Mo Salah and Ox have a significant fixture to look forward to as Liverpool take on Real Madrid at Anfield in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 clash on Wednesday.

It would be an uphill battle for Jurgen Klopp’s men, having lost the first leg 3-1 at the Alfredo di Stefano Stadium last week.
