Manchester City frontman Sergio Aguero is “the Premier League’s best ever striker”, according to former City midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips.

The Argentine has been a prolific figure throughout his time at the Etihad Stadium, having moved to England from Atletico Madrid for £38 million in 2011.

Having added seven goals to his remarkable tally this season, Aguero is now just one effort short of matching Eric Brook’s club-record haul of 176.

Phillips told 888sport: “There is definitely an argument that Sergio Aguero is the Premier League’s best ever striker.

“If he stays fit all year that ups City’s chances of winning the Premier League and the Champions League.”
