The Argentinean is one of the best and most successful strikers to ever play in the Premier League. While being Manchester City’s most prolific ever Premier League goalscorer, at 161, this mark is only topped by eight players in the history of the competition, with Henry being the only foreign one of them all.

His Champions League statistics are also very good, at 36 goals (of whom 14 have come under Guardiola in the recent three years).

Agüero is the definition of a fox in the box. He may be agile and insanely good on the ball but is main strength is his phenomenal positioning. The City striker can disappear a whole match, but in one moment, he positions himself behind the opponent and score with a great finish.

Another big plus is his ability to turn up in big games, as he scored at least 8 times against every other top six opponents so far.

The 18/19 season is something like a revival for the ex-Atletico Madrid player, who was thought to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus at this stage. He scored 18 times in the Premier League this season of whom three came in an unforgettable hat-trick against Chelsea.
