He may not have the nostalgic value of the other players on this list considering he is the only one from this list still playing in the Premier League, but Sergio Aguero may just go down as one of the best strikers in the history of the Premier League. A one-club man in the league, Aguero has been an ever-present fixture at Manchester City since they became one of the best teams in the Premier League.

Manchester City's success and Aguero's success go hand-in-hand. Aguero has led the team to three Premier League title victories by scoring 146 goals. Even though he is 10th on the all-time scoring charts of the Premier League, another 20 goals season would see him shoot all the way up to 6th on the list. He has one of the best goals to game ratio, with his 146 goals coming in just 208 games.

Aguero scored one of the most memorable goals in the history of the Premier League, when his winner against QPR sealed Manchester City's first ever league title. His tremendous goal ratio and his impact on the PL as it became a global commodity gets him into this conversation with ease, probably one day being considered to be the greatest.
