Sergio Agüero has the best goals-to-minutes ratio in EPL history.

The deadliest striker in the history of the Premier League with the best goals-to-minutes ratio ahead of the likes of Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Sergio Agüero hit the ground running for the Blues right from when he signed for them in 2011 with a spectacular scoring debut against Swansea.

He scored the winner in the most dramatic final day victory in PL history against Queens Park Rangers to gift Manchester City their first EPL title and the first league title in 44 years. This etched his name forever in the Citizens history as a bona fide Blues legend. He has won the Olympic gold with Argentina in 2008 and has been a constant member of the national team since then.

The diminutive Argentine is excellent in making runs behind defenders, can score comfortably with either foot, and is one of the most lethal finishers in the game today. His 102 goals in 150 games in the PL is a testament to that. He is a big game player as well.

The only drawback in his game is that he is prone to injuries which sideline him for weeks to months at times. Apart from that, he is an absolute fan favourite and one of the most adored player in the PL by neutrals and pundits alike. Guardiola will definitely be counting on him to lead the front line as the club enters a new era.
