Premier League A-Z: "A" - Sergio Aguero


This is the start of a new little series where we go through the alphabet and name, in our opinion, the strongest player whose surname begins with that letter (currently playing).


 

PL Stats


Who else could it have been? The Manchester City striker has an incredible return for the Citizens in his Premier League career.


Arguably, Sergio Aguero is the greatest striker the Premier League has witnessed. Like I said, arguably...


(AS OF 28/03/19)

  • Games Played: 232

  • Goals Scored: 161

  • Assists: 41

  • Goals Per Match: 0.69

  • Headed Goals: 16

  • Goals with Right Foot: 114

  • Goals with Left Foot: 30

  • Penalties Scored: 24

  • Shots: 897

  • Shots on Target: 377

  • Shooting Accuracy: 42%


These stats are absolutely mesmerising and it's no wonder Aguero tops the list of the City legends in the all-time goalscoring charts.

 

Style of Play


The Argentina and City striker is known for his speedy movements, clever runs and deadly finishing. He is the epitome of the "modern-day striker".


Aguero's right foot is absolutely lethal and his ability to make a yard of space to get a shot away is second-to-none in the Premier League.


His aerial prowess is perhaps a tad underrated - standing at just 5'7, Aguero is not the tallest striker in the league, but his clever and intelligent movements off-the-ball allow him to score a lot of free headers.

Aguero's team-work over the seasons has been brilliant, likewise his mentality. When Gabriel Jesus was brought in to the side when Pep Guardiola took over, the Argentine forward's position at the club was uncertain.


Media outlets reported Guardiola's style of play didn't suit City's all-time top scorer - but my goodness, did he put that speculation to bed.


Since Guardiola took over and started his dominance of the English top-flight, it's been Aguero's league.

 

Best Moment


Well, this is the first article of this series and this will probably be the easiest decision to make throughout.


Aguero scored perhaps the most famous goal in Premier League history against Q.P.R at the Etihad Stadium to win City's first title since the Sheikh Mansour takeover in 2011/12.


Here you go. Enjoy. And you're welcome...
