Aguero only one goal away from matching Henry's Premier League record

Man City star striker Sergio Aguero is only one goal away from matching Arsenal legend Thierry Henry's record for the most Premier League goals scored by a foreign player.

Aguero has been breaking records ever since he arrived at City and ended the previous decade as the league's top goal scorer with his 174 strikes for the Blues.

Despite now being 31 the Argentine isn't showing his age as his phenomenal form has continued this season after bagging 10 goals already preserving his record of reaching double figures in every campaign since turning 18.

Aguero's incredible goal haul while playing at the Etihad has already established himself as one of the best strikers to ever have played in England and he is not far away from overtaking another in the goal scoring charts.

Arsenal icon Henry ended his career with 175 Premier League goals after two stints in North London and he's currently the highest overseas goalscorer in the history of the competition.

Aguero can equal the Frenchman's record with a goal against Aston Villa on Sunday and then he will only need one more to break it.

There couldn't be a much better team coming up for Aguero to face to break the record than newly promoted Villa, as the frontman has four goals in his last six starts against the Villains and has scored more goals against promoted teams, with 31, than any other player since 2011.

It will be a record that won't be broken in a hurry again, either, with Aguero's closest competitors being Robin van Persie (144) Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (127), Robbie Keane (126), Nicolas Anelka (125), Dwight Yorke (123) and Romelu Lukaku (113).

After beating Henry's record Aguero will no doubt have his eyes set on moving further up the all time scoring chart, with Frank Lampard on 177 strikes the next man above him.

The top three then consists of Andy Cole on 187, Wayne Rooney on 208 and in top spot is Alan Shearer on an astounding 260.
