#5 Sergio Aguero – €40.00 million
Trending
There isn’t a better striker in the Premier League than a fit and fine Sergio Aguero. That is one fact which is hardly disputable. 136 goals in 208 outings for Manchester City and still in the prime of his career, there is no saying how high Kun could end up if a list of the greatest players to grace the Premier League is ever accumulated.
City paid a hefty price to Atletico Madrid - €45 million – for the ever smiling Argentine’s service back in the summer of 2011 but he didn’t waste any time in making an impression, two goals and an assist on debut in a 4-0 win over Swansea City including a 30-yard belter. Fast forward five years and Aguero has hardly experienced a fallow period since.
Three 20+ goal seasons in five years, Aguero’s level of consistency is unmatched, with only repeated injuries hindering his progress. And of course, who can forget his dramatic stoppage-time winner against QPR to clinch a first title for City in 44 long years? Not a chance in a million years!
Whether he thrives under Pep Guardiola’s style of play next season remains to be seen, but there is no question that by the time he ends his career in England and heads back to his boyhood club Independiente, he will be not only be considered Manchester City’s greatest ever players, but one of the Premier League’s too.
