Making his way onto number five on the list, is the Argentine Sergio Aguero. Signed from Atletico Madrid for a club record fee in the summer of 2011, the Argentine has taken to life at the Etihad like a duck to water. In his debut League campaign, he scored 23 goals and the most important final goal to seal City’s first Premier League title.
Although last season was a bit of a let-down with just 12 goals, this season, the 25-year-old has gone back to his old scoring ways. With 15 goals already, Aguero has shown everyone that last year was just a blip and that form is temporary, but class is permanent.
