Ghana's Asamoah Gyan honoured with questionable statue as sculptor pays tribute to country's all-time top scorer

Just days after Ghana's Michael Essien was honoured with an abysmal statue, his compatriot Asamoah Gyan was spotted with his own questionable one.

Gyan was honoured with a statue in Kumasi, southern Ghana, in tribute to his services for his country.

It is understood that the sculptor who designed former Chelsea midfielder Essien's statue, erected another for the Black Stars skipper to honour him as the country's all-time top goalscorer, with 52 goals.

But Gyan might not be best pleased with the sculptor's effort as his head and shoulders appear to be too big compared to the rest of his body.
