5 of the best second/supporting strikers of the 21st century

Juventus v Udinese Calcio - Serie A
Dybala is considered by many to be the successor of Lionel Messi.

#3 Sergio Aguero

Manchester City v Newcastle United - Premier League
Aguero is the highest non-European goalscorer in Premier League history

Manchester City's all-time top scorer, Aguero has been one of the most consistent players in the world. Often compared to Brazilian legend Romario due to his pace, technique, positioning and goal-scoring abilities, the Argentinian made his professional debut at the age of 15.

Playing alongside Diego Forlan for Atletico Madrid, he earned the reputation of being one of Europe's most promising youngsters.

He joined Manchester City in 2011 for a then club-record fee. In May 2012, Aguero stunned the world with his last-minute goal against QPR in the final league match. His strike earned Manchester City their first league title since 1968, over superior goal-difference.

At City, he has played alongside various traditional strikers such as Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli, Eden Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic.

Despite being highly injury prone, he has managed to score close to 200 goals for the Manchester-based side. Already passing the 30 goal margin, he has been in incredible form this season and is set to win his third Premier League winner's medal.
