The Argentinean striker is fast turning into a Premier League legend and his goal scoring form has been exceptional this season again. Aguero has helped Manchester City fend off Liverpool's continued attempts at muscling away the top spot in the Premier League. The Argentinean has also been sniffing at a second Golden Boot of his career this season and could even have his hands on the coveted award by the end of the season.

Aguero has never been a part of the 30 man shortlist of the Ballon d'Or, but might finally get his chance this season. The Argentinean has already scored 29 goals from 43 games in all competitions for Manchester City this season and has also registered 9 assists so far. He has been crucial to his club's brilliant run of form this season - City have already won the League cup, are in the FA Cup finals and have a good chance of defending their League title.

The Argentinean's presence in the box this season has been second to none, he currently is one of the best strikers in the world right now. Aguero has average 4.3 shots per game in the Champions League and 3.6 shots per game in the Premier League and at the start of May, is 5th among the top contenders for the award.
