What 15 Prem managers and players could look like if hair transplants didn't exist

EXCLUSIVE: Hair transplants have become increasingly common at the elite level of football, but AI has projected what certain stars might look like if it was never an option

A wise man once said it's all about the confidence - but what if that feeling of self-belief was suddenly robbed?

Fifteen figures past and present from the Premier League are about to find out after getting a glimpse at what they might look like if hair transplants did not exist. That goes for some players who have had them - and some who might need them in the future. The procedure has become commonplace for footballers who are lacking a bit up top, and we don't mean being short of forwards.

Daily Star Sport has put the powers of artificial intelligence to the best use possible in determining the more embaldened visages of those stars in less hairy circumstances. And it's fair to suggest some flaunt the 'Professor X look' slightly better than others.
