A statue of Ghanaian international and former Chelsea midfielder, Michael Essien erected in his country has been described as one of the worst statues ever made of any player ever.

The statue, located on Boadi Road in Kumasi, Ghana shows Micheal Essien in Chelsea’s blue home strip. Fair enough. But the problem is in the body. Essien’s body looks severely out of proportion, while his face is far too jagged and lumps of his head appear to be missing.

He is also kicking the ball with a similar technique as a toddler, his knees are strikingly thin compared to the rest of his legs and his shoulders appear to be armed with American football-style padding.

Michael Essien made 256 appearances at Stamford Bridge between 2005 and 2014, helping the Blues to win nine trophies, including two Premier League titles.

He was part of the Black Stars squad that qualified Ghana to its first ever World Cup in 2006 and helped the team reach the finals of the 2010 AFCON. The midfield maestro currently plies his trade with Indonesian topflight side Persib Bandung

Cristiano Ronaldo has also been on the receiving end of a poor statue after a disastrous sculpture was placed at the airport re-named after him.

The bust, designed by sculptor Emanuel Santos, almost broke the internet – with many pointing out that it looked more like Niall Quinn than Ronaldo as intended.

maybe these sculptors must help us understand what's going on..
