The undisputed first choice and the best South American player that English football has ever seen, the scariest part is to note that were it not to be for a series of terrible injuries, the Argentine international’s goal tally in English football would be way higher than it currently is.

Possessing the short, stout stature of the traditional South American breadbox striker, Agüero was an instant hit with the Cityzens following his £35 million move from Atletico Madrid in 2011.

On his debut against Swansea City, he came in the 59th minute and scored two goals and created an assist; a game that has set the tone for his goal plundering adventure in English football.

On his way to winning his third Premier League title with the Cityzens (who can forget “Agueroooooooooooo”: his dramatic last-minute goal against QPR which clinched the 2011/12 title), he has delivered over 10 goals in all of his seven seasons in the Premier League (5 of these seasons have been 20+ goals).

Aguero has been a scary sight for defences across the length and breadth of the English game. His record of 143 goals and 42 assists in just 205 league games marks him out as a legend of the English game who at the tender age of 29 has already secured his cult status.
