Top 5 strikers of the Premier League era

#4 Sergio Aguero (Argentina, Manchester City)

Sergio Aguero

Central to Manchester City's rise in the last decade has been a certain Argentine who joined the club from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011. At Atleti, Sergio Aguero managed to grab the attention of football fans around the world with his stellar performances.

And after arriving in the Premier League, Aguero managed to touch even greater heights.

He started his playing career with Independiente in his homeland Argentina, before catching the eye of scouts from Atletico. He moved to Spain ahead of the 2006/07 season and at the end of the 2010/11 season, had amassed a total of 101 goals from 234 games for the La Liga side.

It prompted Manchester City to pay the big money for his signature; it was a decision that turned the club's fortunes around. Since moving to the Premier League, Aguero has consistently been one of the most dangerous strikers in the England's top flight.

He is a great dribbler, using his short stature to wriggle past the opposition. However, it is his goalscoring prowess that has been the most alluring.

Aguero has scored 244 goals from 352 games for City to date. In the Premier League, he has 173 goals from 250 games and is also the 6th highest goal scorer in the history of the league.
