Argentina striker Sergio Aguero completed his £38 million ($62m) move to Manchester City yesterday and immediately set his sights on sparking a major trophy haul.
The 23-year-old, who is the son-in-law of Argentina legend Diego Maradona, had already announced his move from Atletico Madrid on his Twitter account on Wednesday, but both the Spanish side and City waited until yesterday evening to confirm the deal.
“My style is to fight to the death for every ball and always give 100 per cent, to be concentrated, give the maximum and to score goals. I have plenty to offer,” he told the City website.
“I saw City win the FA Cup last season. I am sure that in the future we will be fighting for plenty of major trophies.”
Aguero is seen as the answer to City’s problems in attack, where Carlos Tevez has reiterated his desire to leave the English club.
His transfer is City’s third major signing of the summer following the arrivals of Gael Clichy from Arsenal and Stefan Savic from Partizan Belgrade.
City said that Aguero signed a five-year-deal and that he is likely to be in the squad for this weekend’s Dublin Super Cup tournament.
