‘Omg yes please’, ‘Will be class’ – Some Spurs fans react to links with striker with 181 PL goals
Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero would consider joining Tottenham Hotspur when he leaves his current club at the end of the season. The Argentine wants to remain in the Premier League after 10 years at the Etihad Stadium, and he is even ready to sacrifice Champions League football for next season in order to do so. With 181 Premier League goals in 272 games for Man City, Aguero has established himself as one of the best strikers in the English top-flight, and landing such a player will definitely boost Spurs’ chances of winning silverware and returning to Europe’s elite competition. While the 32-year-old will be signed as a free agent, his wages could prove too much for a side like Tottenham. Chairman Daniel Levy has been prudent with his side’s finances for a while, and he would have ...

The west London giants are determined to improve their attack with last year’s signings in Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz yet to impress consistently. Sportslen...

No major injury concerns for Man City, but Dortmund beset by problems
Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Tuesday. It is the first time that these two sides have faced each other in the Champions League knockout stage. Their only previous clashes in the competition came in the group phase back in 2012/13, with Dortmund avoiding defeat in each meeting (D1, L1). Manchester City Preview City brushed aside Borussia Monchengladbach in the round of 16, winning both legs by the identical 2-0 score, with three of their four strikes in those encounters coming inside the opening 30 minutes of play. The Cityzens have now won ten of their last 11 Champions League fixtures against Bundesliga opponents (D1), netting over 1.5 goals in all but one of those matches. Coming...
Manchester City start ‘initial enquiries’ for Romelu Lukaku deal
Manchester City have reportedly made ‘initial enquiries’ over the potential summer signing of Inter striker Romelu Lukaku. City have often played without a recognised centre forward this season, with their options thinning even further following the departure of Sergio Agüero. According to Corriere dello Sport, Pep Guardiola wants to recruit a striker despite saying otherwise in recent press conferences and is willing to spend big. Their main target is Borussia Dortmund frontman Erling Haaland although his price could be excessive, with Guardiola also sharing a difficult relationship with agent Mino Raiola. Lukaku has enjoyed a prolific season in Serie A – scoring 20 goals and assisting eight in 27 appearances – with Inter currently eight points clear at the top. The Nerrazzuri are, howeve...
Manchester United boss rules out suggestions of move for Kun Aguero
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ruled out suggestions that Sergio Aguero could cross the Manchester divide by joining Man Utd. The Manchester City legend has confirmed that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season after a decade of success at the Etihad, winning four league titles, five league cups and an FA Cup, as well as establishing himself as the club’s record goalscorer. He does of course still have the chance to add four more winners medals to his collection before the end of the season as City chase an unprecedented quadruple of honours this campaign. However, with Aguero set to finish his career away from the Etihad, attentions have understandably turned to where he will be moving to, with a whole host of top European sides looking to bolster their attacking lineups. Barcelon...
Manchester City close in on Premier League title with Leicester win
Manchester City took another significant step towards the Premier League title with a 2-0 victory at Leicester City. The visitors dominated from the off and thought they were ahead on five minutes. Fernandinho rifled a 35-yard strike into the bottom corner, but Sergio Aguero – who was appearing for the first time since his impending summer departure from City was announced – was deemed to be offside. Kevin de Bruyne then hit the crossbar with a stunning free kick before Leicester’s best moment saw Jamie Vardy’s strike ruled out for offside on the stroke of half time. The pattern of Man City dominance continued after the break and they deservedly took the lead on 58 minutes when Benjamin Mendy showed great composure to cut inside and place a low shot into the far corner. Gabriel Jesus made ...

Pundit puts his foot in it again with dodgy opinion on prolific Premier League forward
Welcome to the weekend folks, and our latest edition of ‘barely a day goes by in football without someone spouting nonsense’. The latest entrant into our newly-founded Hall of Shame is former Leicester City clogger, Robbie Savage. The blonde-haired attention seeker regularly puts the cat amongst the cats with his opinions, and he has been at it again in his latest column for the Mirror. Savage’s latest pearl of wisdom is a cracker – Manchester United should go all-out to sign Sergio Aguero. “It’s only 12 years since another Argentinian, Carlos Tevez, made the short journey from Old Trafford to Eastlands and became a title winner with both United and City,” he wrote. “Aguero has been linked already with Chelsea, which would hardly be a retrograde step going from one powerful, multi-national...
