Manchester City have this evening announced the signing of Sergio Aguero. After prolonged negotiations over the past twenty-four hours, both parties have finally reached agreement and the Argentine joins up at the Etihad Stadium on a five-year deal.
Having been linked with both Juventus and Real Madrid this close season, the forward has instead opted to join the Abu-Dhabi owned Premier League club and his arrival brings a true world-class talent to these shores ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Third top scorer in La Liga last season, only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo scored more in Spain’s top-flight and Aguero will surely bring plenty goals to Roberto Mancini’s front line as they battle for silverware on a number of fronts.
Quite what this means for the likes of Carlos Tevez is another matter, however, but Aguero’s addition to the Premier League is exciting news for City fans and Fantasy managers alike. A look at the Season Ticker sees Mancini’s side kick-off the 2011/12 campaign with a home game against Swansea and also host Wigan in gameweek 4. Not only will he be drafted in by plenty, there’s every chance Aguero will also be sporting many Fantasy armbands come 11.30am on Saturday 13th August as the big-spenders look to start the season in commanding form.
A full Scout Report on the situation will follow tomorrow.
