Sergio Aguero poised to become Manchester City's goal standard

Already a club legend for a last-ditch finish against Queens Park Rangers that won Manchester City the Premier League title in 2011-12, Argentine forward Sergio Aguero is on track to become the club's all-time leading goal-scorer.

Despite sitting 11th on City's all-time scoring list, the pint-sized Argentine could overtake more than half of those ahead of him by the end of next season, his health permitting.

Aguero, 27, joined the Citizens from Atletico Madrid before the 2011-12 season and immediately acclimated himself to the English top flight, scoring twice on his debut with an assist after coming on as a sub in the 59th minute against Swansea City.

"It would be a major achievement if I can enter the top ten," Aguero told the club's website Tuesday. "But I'd rather focus on my next goal rather than the ones I've scored so far and the ones I might score in the future."

Based on these numbers, Aguero scores a goal every 1.49 matches he plays. At that rate, he would pass Erik Brook's club record of 177 in 74.5 matches -hypothetically before the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

"Breaking a record would (be) very nice for sure - they are meant to be broken in the first place. But if I do it, I hope it doesn't last for many years, because that would mean that the club can keep growing thanks to the efforts of other prolific players."
