Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been transferred to an exclusive London club - for just £150,000!
But before Reds fans worry too much, it is only his waxwork which will be moving to the capital at Madame Tussauds museum.
Gerrard will appear in the interactive Sports Zone in his Liverpool kit and boots which he donated.
He said: "It is an absolute thrill to have my own wax figure at Madame Tussauds."
The wax model has been worked on since October last year when sculptors met Gerrard at Liverpool's Melwood training ground.
During the sitting, the team took over 300 precise measurements and a catalogue of reference photographs to work with. The figure is nearly ready at a cost of £150,000.
"We’re delighted to be welcoming Steven Gerrard to the attraction in this World Cup year", commented Liz Edwards, PR Manager.
"He will join his England team-mates David Beckham and Wayne Rooney in our Sports Zone and guests will be able to test their own footballing skills with a "shoot out" challenge over half term".
As well as his fellow footballers, Gerrard will join an all star sporting cast of greats from past and present in Madame Tussauds’ Sports Zone - from Lewis Hamilton to Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammed Ali to Jesse Owens.
