A former Premier League star looks completely different to his playing days after sharing photos of his recent hair transplant.

Former Chelsea forward Adrian Mutu posted evidence of the transplant to his Instagram account.

The 45-year-old became a manager after his playing career ended, and most recently had a two-month spell at CFR Cluj where he won five of his 11 matches in charge.

Mutu's Premier League career ended in disgrace after he tested positive for cocaine in September 2004 and was immediately released by Chelsea.

The Romanian had scored 10 goals in 36 appearances in his first season at Stamford Bridge, but only made two appearances under Jose Mourinho before the positive test was revealed.

Mutu was ultimately ordered to pay €17.1 million to Chelsea, with his final appeal rejected by the European Court of Human Rights in 2018.

In his early days at Stamford Bridge, Mutu became well-known for his shaved head look - although he did grow his hair out during different stages of his career.

Now, the Romanian has shared images of a hair transplant procedure he has undergone - and he looks considerably different to those Chelsea days.

He posted to Instagram: "After five months, I'm very happy with the result."

Mutu is not the only current or former Premier League star to have had a hair transplant.

The most high-profile of those is Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney, who had two separate procedures in 2011 and 2013.

Meanwhile, the Dr Emrah Cinik that Mutu quotes in his post appears to be same doctor used by Rio Ferdinand when he had a hair and beard transplant in 2023.

And in 2021, former Arsenal defender Rob Holding opened up about his own hair transplant procedure and how it helped his mental health.

He wrote on Instagram: "Wimpole Clinic in London treated me so well and I'm so happy with the results.

"I have so many messages of other people affected by simple mental health issues and self confidence issues.

"I couldn't recommend this place enough, let's all be better."
