Liverpool's powerful German midfielder who rose through the academy to become a key figure in Klopp's early rebuilding years at Anfield. Known for his extraordinary bicycle kick against Watford in 2017 — voted Premier League Goal of the Season. His physicality, range of passing and versatility across midfield roles made him highly sought after. Moved to Juventus and then Borussia Dortmund, where he established himself as a Germany international and captain.
Sergio Leonel Agüero del Castillo was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1988. He became a professional at 15 — the youngest player in Argentine top-flight history. Atlético Madrid signed him in 2006 and Manchester City paid £38 million in 2011. His ten City seasons produced five Premier League titles and 260 goals — the club record. His 93:20 goal against QPR on the final day of the 2011-12 season — a goal that won City his first title in 44 years with two injury-time goals in the final minute after being 2-1 down — is the most famous goal in Premier League history. The commentary shout Agueroooo from Martin Tyler became the most recognised phrase in the competition's history. He won the Copa América with Argentina in 2021 alongside Messi — shortly before a heart condition forced him to retire aged 33. He was the Premier League's all-time highest scoring overseas player. His combination of pace, close control, finishing with both feet and the instinct to be in the right position at the right moment made him the most dangerous striker in the Premier League across his peak decade.
