The Erling Haaland Statue In Norway Raib, Suspected To Be Unsatisfied By Its Forms
JAKARTA - The statue of Manchester City player Erling Haaland, who was in a shop in his hometown of Bryne, Norway, disappeared. The 10-foot-high statue was allegedly stolen by dissatisfied fans.
It is suspected that the fan stole it by using a crane for the night.
The statue, which was carved from a tree trunk weighing almost a ton, has actually been complained by many parties. Merka assessed that the statue did not look like the 22-year-old star.
Entrepreneur Tore Sivertsen spent 10 thousand pounds ordering the statue. This is a form of respect for the former Borussia Dortmund player.
"We are all very proud of Erling. Some complained it was too bad, let's face it, Erling is not a beautiful man. But I'm still surprised that someone decided to steal it," the owner told The Sun.
Sivertsen commissioned the famous woodcutter Kjetil Barane, who took a year to make it from a 100-year-old wooden stick.
"I accept it may not match everyone's taste, but I like it. It's an artwork rather than a realistic representation of Erling Haaland," he said.
He had planned to auction off the statue to fund a hospital in Tanzania. Unfortunately, the statue has gone somewhere.
Haaland moved to City in the summer after scoring 86 goals in 89 games with Dortmund. He has scored one goal in three Premier League games this season.
