A statue of the Citizens’ Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, which has been called ugly, has been stolen in Norway by a disgruntled fan operating a crane.
What did the man who made the statue of Erling Haaland say?
A £10,000 ($11,840) 10-foot sculpture of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, set to be auctioned to fund a hospital in Tanzania, stood in Bryne’s Norwegian hometown. The unfortunate locals were never taken by the creation that was placed over the shop in town, and someone has now taken matters into their own hands.
The man who owns the tractor dealership was the man who got the statue made and he said he saw it go missing, that he thought it would be good to have the statue commissioned to pay homage. According to Tore Sivertsen, some complain that it’s too ugly, but let’s face it, Erling Haaland is not a pretty guy. But Tore Sivertsen also says that he was still shocked that someone decided to steal it.
