Grandfather – Diego Maradona.

Father – Sergio Aguero.

Godfather – Lionel Messi.

Benjamin Aguero may not be old enough to understand the pressure that comes along with the biggest names in football but he sure has all the talent to match them in the future. From the videos released by Sergio Aguero a couple of years ago, it is evident that the 5-year-old kid does have it in him to become a top striker. Take a look at this video from 2011, where little Benjamin enjoys a kickabout with his dad. Althought the highlight of video remains the power that he could generate back when he was just 2-years-old.

Even his grandfather Diego Maradona expects great things from Aguero Jr. and Thiago, son of Lionel Messi. In 2012, the legendary Argentinean said, “"One of them will have to play as a midfielder. I think Thiago (Messi) will command the others. Benjamin (Aguero) will play as a forward.”

The best thing about Benjamin remains that he is looking forward to become a professional footballer from a very young age. Benjamin signed up for the Manchester City academy earlier this year as he marked his first day on the pitch with a clinical striker that you would expect from a footballer with the last name ‘Aguero’
