It is from the anime TV programme Naruto.
The orange mask is worn by Obito Uchiha, who is a villain and a very popular character in the world of manga.
The Cherries striker loves anime and has recreated poses from various shows in his goal celebrations.
The 26-year-old has spoken about his love of anime recently, so it’s nice to see him reveal this unique mask.
Talking to the BBC’s Football Focus, he said: “A lot of my friends watch it, so they were pressurising me to watch it, and at first, I wasn’t really into it.
“But then I watched Naruto first, and I just couldn’t stop watching it.”
Solanke even admitted anime has helped him with the mental side of the game.
“”It’s so relentless. The characters just don’t give up, so it’s always nice to think back to those characters and what they’ve gone through and how hard they’ve worked.”
