Chelsea emerge as favourites to land Man City striker Aguero

Chelsea have emerged as favourites to land Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.

The greatest goalscorer in Manchester City's history will leave the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season, bringing an end to a decade of outstanding service.

The Daily Mail says leaving City does not necessarily mean he is leaving the English game. Aguero will have offers from all around the world, including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, but his preference would be to remain in the Premier League as the 32-year-old believes he still has much to give in this country.

Chelsea wanted to sign Aguero in 2011 when he played for Atletico Madrid and they are one of only a handful of clubs who could pay the salary of more than £13million he has commanded at City but others who have the financial resources — Manchester United and Liverpool — are not at the table.
