With the unmistakable hair of Carles Puyol, the eyes of Xavi, Lionel Messi's dynamic left foot and the accuracy of Thierry Henry's right, the explosive legs of Cristiano Ronaldo and the imposing height of Peter Crouch, the world's ultimate performing football player has been created. And he's headed to Dubai this month.

While he may look a little odd, the 6'7" player can boast a transfer value of more than £270 million (Dh1.51 billion)?and has a collection of unrivalled world-class football skills that would have top managers around the world clamouring to sign him.

Unfortunately for Sven Goran Eriksson and his managerial counterparts the Castrol Edge Ultimate Performing Player, to give it its full name, will not be seen on the pitch anytime soon as it is a model made of carbon fibre and wax, and engineered by oil company Castrol to demonstrate its new range of high-performance oils.

The statue was created over six months by two former Madame Tussauds' artists and unveiled by Eriksson and Castrol?Edge executives in London on Friday.

It is likely to travel to Dubai this month and will be displayed for one weekend only, a publicist said.

"It would be interesting to play against him and see how I compare; it would be the ultimate test," Cristiano Ronaldo said in a statement released to media.
