The England international, who impressively bagged 20 Premier League goals for Thomas Frank’s side last season seems to be an admirer of Manchester City strikers, as he also lauded Erling Haaland.

While Haaland’s name is on every fan and pundit’s lips, the impact of Aguero on football as a whole remains unforgettable, especially in the context of the Premier League.

Ivan Toney clearly recognises this as he heaped praise on to Sergio Aguero as his personal third favourite striker, saying, “I have to say, Sergio Aguero. That’s goals right there, all of them [including Jermain Defoe and Dimitar Berbatov.”

Every up-and-coming striker should take inspiration from Sergio Aguero

It makes sense that Ivan Toney, who is renowned for how well-rounded his game is always tuned into watch Sergio Aguero for inspiration.

Apart from being one of the most clinical finishers of his generation, the five-time Premier League winner was an immaculate footballer as a whole.

For up-and-coming No.9’s that aim to reach the top of the game, they must analyse Aguero’s game, and especially focus on aspects like his sublime dribbling, expert link-up play and glorious first-touch.

And of course, the variety of goals that the now-retired frontman could score are also worth assessing over and over again for the next generation of aspiring goalscorers.

Sergio Aguero was the complete package and if any young striker can even become half the player he was, they have set themselves up for a legendary career.
