ANKARA (AA) - Manchester City on Saturday unveiled statues of club legends David Silva and Vincent Kompany at the club’s Etihad Stadium.

The statues made their debut in a specially commissioned video on the club's website and social media accounts.

Built of welded pieces of galvanized steel, the statues were created by award-winning sculptor Andy Scott.

The statues will be illuminated at night with blue-tinted lighting.

Both Belgian defender Kompany and Spanish midfielder Silva contributed to the most successful era in Manchester City’s 127-year history, playing there for 11 years and 10 years respectively, mostly in the 2010s.
