Pellegrini: Aguero can be world’s best

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini believes striker Sergio Aguero has the potential to become the best player in the world.

Aguero is ready to face West Ham today eager to continue his superb start to the season, which as seen him score 11 goals in as many games, including four against Tottenham last weekend, has reignited debate over his standing in the world game.

A year ago comparisons with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were common but injuries then hampered Aguero throughout the second half of last season.
