Description
After making his debut in the Argentine First Division at the age of 15, Aguero's sharp, intelligent play at Independiente and Atlético Madrid made it clear that he was a world-class player in the making. Since arriving at Manchester City in 2011, he has scored over 100 goals for the club and become a firm favorite at the Etihad Stadium and beyond. His last-gasp goal against QPR to win the League for City in 2012 was voted as one of the Premier League's greatest ever moments in a 2015 Sky Sports poll. The shirt he wears bearing his nickname 'Kun' is in the top 10 best-selling Premiership player kits, and the global popularity of Manchester City has made him one of the game's best-known players worldwide.
