Sunderland v Manchester City - Premier League
Aguero has cemented his place as one of the Premier League's greatest strikers

There can be no arguments over the fact that Sergio Aguero has been one of the most consistent and prolific strikers in the world since his move to the Manchester City back in 2011.

Aguero began his career at Club Atlético Independiente at the tender age of 15, which made him the youngest player to debut in the Argentine Primera División. In 2006, he moved to Atletico Madrid, where he flourished, scoring 101 goals over six years for Los Rojiblancos.

But undoubtedly, he is best known for his stint with the Citizens, where he moved to in 2011. In his debut season, in the final game of the league against Queens Park Rangers, the match was teetering at 3-3 and with City needing a win, Aguero popped up with a stunning winner in the 94th minute sending the League title to Manchester City for the first time in 44 years!

That moment remains one of the most iconic and astonishing events in English football.

The diminutive Argentine has grown in stature since then, constantly menacing the penalty box in search of goals, of which he has plundered 193 to date for the Citizens, an undisputed club record.

Aguero has won 10 trophies over his paying career and on an individual note, he has won the Don Balón award and the Premier League Golden Boot for the 2014-15 season amongst others. Once again though, for all his exploits on the pitch, the Ballon d'Or remains elusive.
