Top 10 strikers in the world right now

#5 Sergio Aguero

Arguably the best player in the Premier League, Sergio Aguero is considered by many to be the most talented striker in world football at the moment. The Manchester City forward is renowned for his strength, agility, pace and finishing skills with Lionel Messi describing Aguero as:

“A player with immense power, strength and an incredible work ethic."

If Aguero was not so injury prone, he would have easily been challenging for the Ballon d’Or award. Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand even considered him to be better than Suarez:

“For me now, at the moment, when he’s fit, Augero’s the best No.9 in terms of playing against, he’s a nightmare,”

“Normally, like [Luis] Suarez, I’ll push him on his left all day long and say ‘go on’, because I know he’s going to cut back on his right.

“But with someone like Aguero, he’ll take that left and push it, and it’s hard to get back a yard, especially against someone so quick in the box, and he bangs it with both feet, so for me he was the hardest to play against for a long time.”

The 28-year-old has made a blistering start under Pep Guardiola having scored 14 goals in 15 appearances this season and is quite clearly one of the best strikers in world football at the moment.
