The Argentine forward impressed many during his time at West Ham United. This helped him earn a move to Manchester United in 2007.

Playing with Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and many great players, Carlos Tevez was a regular contributor in front of goal with United. After two successful seasons, which included winning the league title, the Argentine decided to join rivals Manchester City.

During his time with Manchester United, Tevez scored 19 league goals in 63 appearances. At City, he was much more productive in scoring as he scored 58 goals in 113 matches. In total, he has 84 league goals to his name in 202 appearances.

Sergio Aguero was the star player at Atletico Madrid, scoring goals on a very consistent basis. This attracted the interest of Manchester City, who were trying to bring about a revolution with the Abu Dhabi group takeover.

He signed for City in the summer of 2011 and was an instant success for them. In his very first season, Aguero helped them win the league title with a dramatic last-minute goal in the final match of the campaign. Over the years, the Argentine striker went on to become a massive goal-scorer for the Citizens, scoring 184 goals.

He remains Manchester City's all-time top goal-scorer and the fourth highest goal-scorer in the history of the Premier League. Aguero's contribution at Manchester City has earned him a legendary status and rightly so.
