Days after legendary Black Stars and former Chelsea Player Michael Essien was honoured with a statue, a similar one for Asamoah Gyan has also popped up--which has the Black Stars captain posing next to his.

Gyan was honoured with the statue in Kumasi, southern Ghana, for his services as the country’s all-time top goalscorer, with 52 goals.

Razzonline.com can state emphatically that, the sculptor who designed the former Chelsea midfielder Essien’s statue, erected Asamoah Gyan's own.

Many football fans and the general public as a whole have condemned the sculptor for putting up such a deplorable statues of the legendary Ghanaian footballers.

But since the sculptor insists the statues were built to honor the two soccer stars, which of them has a ‘better’ statue?
