Top 5 foreign players in the history of the Premier League

#5 Sergio Aguero

Manchester City v Dinamo Zagreb: Group C - UEFA Champions League

"Manchester City are still alive here......Balotelli.....AGUEROOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

On the 13th of May 2012, Martin Tyler, on commentary duty at the Etihad Stadium uttered, nay, exclaimed those now immortal words, which signified the conclusion of the greatest title race of the Premier League era and it only seemed fitting that the man to bring it all to a head was the one who had led City's charge since the beginning of the season; Sergio Aguero.

The only player on this list who still plays in the Premier League, Aguero has captured the imagination of English fans ever since he arrived at City in the summer of 2011 from Atletic Madrid. A small man (he is only 173 cm tall), Aguero is not a traditional, hold the ball up type of centre forward. In fact, he is a goal poacher extraordinaire, using his exceptional reading of the game and intelligent movement to reach the right place at the right time to finish off passing moves. His dimuntive frame enables him to slip through gaps that most others would struggle to find and his marvellous finishing ability only underlines his status as one of the greatest goalscorers the league has ever seen.

Aguero is City's all-time leading goalscorer and currently sixth on the Premier League's all-time scoring chart, with 173 goals so far. It would not be a stretch to say that by the end of his time in England, he could well breach the 200 goal mark, and break into the top three.
