Over the course of the past decade, Sergio Aguero has established himself as one of the Premier League's best-ever strikers.
He's appeared 261 times for Manchester City in England's top-flight with 180 goals, scored as well as being crowned as a champion on four separate occasions.
Few strikers throughout the history of the competition are able to compete with his ability to find the net, with a goal scored every 104 minutes dating back to 2014.
His consistency is remarkable, but why is he so capable of actively posing a threat?
There are various reasons behind Aguero's capacity to score frequently, but perhaps the most obvious is his simple willingness to shoot.
Generally, the more a player tends to shoot, the more he scores.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, developed a reputation amongst statisticians during their peak for shooting around five to seven times per 90.
The likes of Luis Suarez and Harry Kane have also demonstrated such a trait in recent years, with the former averaging 5.5 shots per 90 in the season before his departure to Barcelona from Liverpool.
Aguero is similar and once delving into the numbers of the current campaign, it's clear to see that he's more likely to shoot when in possession of the ball than any other player in the division.
Pictured below are the top 30 Premier League players in accordance with number of touches per shot, with only players who have accumulated a total of over 500 touches this season included.
For context, receiving a pass, then dribbling, then sending a pass counts as one touch.
Aguero, impressively, is the only player who shoots roughly every 7.9 touches. He's more inclined to attempt to score when in possession than anyone else.
Gabriel Jesus isn't far behind, with an attempt every 8.9 touches, with Mohamed Salah placed seventh having averaged a shot every 11.3 touches.
There is an art to getting on the end of chances and manipulating situations inside the penalty box so that shooting can become a possibility. Aguero seems to have mastered that skill.
Despite reaching the age of 31, his power and desire to shoot when presented with the ball doesn't appear to be showing any signs of dwindling.
Ultimately, it's reasonable to suggest that Aguero's scoring tendencies will continue for a little while longer, at least until his habit of shooting with such frequency begins to fade.
