Sculptures of Vincent Kompany and David Silva will be installed outside Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium ahead of this weekend’s Premier League game against Arsenal.

A third statue – of record goalscorer Sergio Aguero – is set to join them next year with the three players recognised for their “unparalleled contribution to the club’s transformation”.
