Top 10 Manchester City signings of the decade (2010-2019)

#1 Sergio Aguero

Sergio Aguero is the best of Manchester City's modern-day legends.

The 2010s have been a successful decade for Manchester City, but the year 2012 will stand out as the most special.

The 2011-2012 season was a very eventful one for Sergio Aguero. The Argentine signed for Manchester City from Atletico Madrid for a fee of €40 million and instantly struck a chord with compatriot Carlos Tevez. The two South American strikers formed a vicious partnership and wreaked havoc on the Premier League, giving Manchester City a chance to win their first Premier League in 44 years.

Local rivals Manchester United provided very stiff competition, and a dramatic end to the season was inevitable. With seconds to go on the clock, Sergio Aguero etched his name into Manchester City and Premier League folklore by scoring a decisive winner against QPR. The Premier League hasn't seen anything of the sort ever since, and may never will.

Aguero's legendary title-winning goal is merely the proverbial cherry on an enormous cake. Recently termed irreplaceable by Pep Guardiola, the Argentine has been an epitome of consistency for Manchester City and has played a leading role in establishing the team as one of the best in the world.

In addition to being a part of every single one of the club's trophy victories this decade, Aguero also holds numerous individual records. In the 2018-19 season, Aguero established himself as Manchester City's all-time top-scorer and currently has an astounding 245 goals in 352 appearances for the club.

Aguero is also sixth on the list of all-time top-scorers in the Premier League with 174 goals. When the Argentine is in full flight, no record seems impossible. Aguero has arguably been the best Premier League striker in the decade, and Manchester City has massive boots to fill when his time at the club comes to an end.

Manchester City has come a long way since their loss to Middlesbrough and has found legends of their own along the way. As with most other lists of which he is a part, Sergio Aguero tops this one as well.
