The rapid progress of Shaw’s hair has wowed Premier League fans this season, but most pundits think the time has come for him to make a decision about whether he is going for a buzzcut or the full Cavani.
Southampton barbershop Arif’s Cuts For Men is said to have offered Shaw a number one cut all over for just £4, but the 18-year-old’s head is believed to have been turned by a special offer on Aussie Mega Shampoo at his local supermarket.
He said: “There’s no pressure on you when you’re that age, but soon people are going to say, ‘are you trying to look like a squaddie on shore leave, or a gap year poet?’ Shaw’s in danger of coming across like a man who’d swing fists at himself if he accidentally caught sight of a mirror.”
“People need to remember that not so long ago, Luke had a straw-mop which only gradually turned into a Scandinavian ringlet, and then a sliding wedge, and then a frozen Hokusai,” Venison said.
“He’s made a lot of progress in a very short space of time, and I think people need to take a step back and appreciate what he’s doing with an electric shaver and a metric tonne of gel.”
