The England striker's effigy still has no permanent home five years after first being commissioned by Waltham Forest Council.
Photos have emerged showing a statue of England captain Harry Kane, which has apparently been languishing in storage in east London for more than three years. The statue's existence was confirmed last month, having reportedly been completed in 2020 - one year after it was commissioned by Waltham Forest Council. The images, first obtained by the Big Issue, show a metallic Kane sitting on a green bench and holding a football on his thigh with his left hand.
But a permanent home for the statue remains undetermined. The pictures, reportedly sent to the council by Sculpture Machine, have caused a stir on social media, with some questioning whether a footballer should be sitting on a bench in this way and others poking fun at its chocolate appearance. Some have drawn comparisons with a widely-mocked statue of Cristiano Ronaldo, which was unveiled in Madeira Airport, in Portugal, in 2017.
