Aguero considering Tottenham move

Tottenham have entered the race to sign Sergio Aguero when he leaves Manchester City at the end of the season, according to reports.

Aguero’s departure from City was recently confirmed, with the striker now in the final few months of his contract. But after he leaves the club at the end of the season, there could still be a chance for him to remain in the Premier League with someone else.

Aguero has proven himself as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever strikers in his decade with City. He is their all-time leading goalscorer, but has struggled this season.

Injuries have halted his progress in recent months and he has only scored one league goal this season. That was a penalty against relegation-threatened Fulham.

Hence, City have decided to move on from Aguero at the end of the campaign. The 32-year-old will be one of the most in-demand free agents on the market.

Determined to prove a point, there is every chance that Aguero could stay in Europe. What’s more, his next club could be another one in the Premier League.

Aguero is free to discuss terms with other clubs now given a matter of months remain on his deal with City. Hence, his entourage will no doubt be exploring their options – with Spurs and Chelsea among them.
