The statue can be found in the Ghanaian city of Kumasi. If you thought Cristiano Ronaldo's bust was strange, have a look at this one.

Michael Essien is one of the most respected footballers in Ghana, and an sculptor thought it would be a good idea to create a statue to pay his respects.

Everything seemed to be on a roll, but the final result was somewhat strange, as the shape of the player's body looks nothing like a regular torso.

The statue shows Essien holding on to the ball wearing Chelsea's jersey. Have a look at the "homage".

Of course, fans and experts didn't waste any time to mock the work of art.
