Like others on this list, Sergio Aguero is also someone who has overturned the fortunes of the club completely ever since joining them.

This is also so interesting, because it shows that all these players aren’t just great individually, but they hold a strong aura and impact on the club from an overall perspective as well. Sergio Aguero joined Manchester City from Atletico Madrid and soon enhanced his reputation to arguably become the best South-American player to have played in the league.

Aguero is a lethal striker, a smart leader and someone who raises his game as the stakes rise too. The Argentine is a brilliant finisher, something that allows to him to score loads of goals irrespective of the conditions and the opposition.

He has gelled well with Pep Guardiola’s demands as well and managed to keep Gabriel Jesus out of the limelight with consistent performances; which actually did not look possible during Guardiola’s first season in-charge at City.

Despite the multiple changes in management and the team’s style of play, Aguero has somewhat managed to alter his gameplay and yet manage to keep a sensational level of goal-scoring consistency. He has scored 161 goals in 232 Premier League appearances.

His goal per match ratio of 0.69 is absolutely brilliant and he has even won the Golden Boot once in 2014/15. Aguero has won three Premier League titles and even assisted 41 goals, an aspect of his game that has improved gradually over the last few years.

Finally, he maybe scored the most important goal in Manchester City’s history; the injury time winner in the final minute of the final day of the 2011/12 season, which inspired them to their first title of the Premier League!
