Manchester City star Sergio Aguero reveals the identity of his favourite leading Premier League goalscorer
SERGIO AGUERO is arguably the best striker in the Premier League.
But as the Manchester City star closes in on the top 20 most goals list, he’s kindly revealed which icon he looks up to the most.
There are some impressive names in the rankings, including Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney and Liverpool icon Michael Owen.
But Aguero admits his personal favourite isn’t a striker – it’s Chelsea hero and former teammate Frank Lampard.
The midfielder scored 177 goals during his time in England’s top flight, and Aguero insists Lampard is as good as they come.
“I had the chance to play alongside him and it was a valuable experience. He’s every inch a professional and a man you can respect.”
Aguero concedes he was also hugely impressed by former Newcastle ace Alan Shearer, who leads the charts with 260 strikes.
The Argentine added: “Without a doubt, for his goal tally and lead over everybody else, Alan Shearer deserves to be on the podium.”
