Top 5 strikers in the world right now

Uruguay v Portugal : Round of 16 - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

#3 Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

Arsenal FC v Manchester City - Premier League

The Argentine was signed by Manchester City from Atletico Madrid to usher in a new era for the Cityzens. Over the course of his stay, he has powered Manchester City to three Premier League titles while propelling himself to the top of City’s goal-scoring charts.

Aguero played a pivotal role in City’s romp to the title in 2017-18. He scored 21 times while providing 6 assists. He did not enjoy a good World Cup and scored a solitary goal against Iceland.

Aguero possesses a low centre of gravity and dribbles past opponents for fun. Equally strong with both feet, he is a nightmare for defenders around the penalty area.

However, his most impressive aspect is his link-up play and movement. At City, he plays as the focal point of a mobile front three and wreaks havoc with Sterling and Sane.

Though his work rate has been questioned before, he has started putting in the hard yards under Pep and can be seen ‘pressing’ these days.

His biggest weakness is his injury-prone nature. Despite being at City for seven seasons, he has only made 207 appearances. It would be scary to think what Aguero could have achieved if he had managed to stay free from injury.

Aguero gets into our list for his ability to come up with the goods in crunch situations, like the famous goal against QPR. Being one of the most complete centre-forwards going around, Aguero slots in at No.3.
