Portuguese striker Andre Silva has been in fine form for Eintrach Frankfurt this season. The 25-year-old striker has put in Aguero like numbers in the Bundesliga this season, scoring an incredible 21 goals in just 24 appearances.

After a tough spell at AC Milan, Andre Silva has shown the footballing world what he is capable of with some stunning performances and goals for Frankfurt. A complete striker who is good with his feet and in the air, Andre Silva could be a gamble well worth taking for Manchester City.

The talented striker has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Atletico Madrid recently, but Manchester City were also linked with him earlier this year.

Andre Silva could definitely add a different dimension to Manchester City's attack under Pep Guardiola.


#4 Lautaro Martinez - Inter Milan

An Argentine who could do a pretty good job of replacing Sergio Aguero at Manchester City, is Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez. Heavily linked with a move to Barcelona in the last transfer window, Lautaro Martinez has had a fruitful season at Inter.

With 14 goals in Serie A this season, Martinez has proven once again that he is one of the best young strikers in world football at the moment. At 23, Lautaro still has time to improve and could be an ideal long-term replacement for Sergio Aguero.

Blessed with pace and good finishing skills, Martinez is capable of playing both as a solo striker and as a supporting striker. Manchester City's potent attack could become even more dynamic if they manage to sign Lautaro Martinez in the summer.
