Negredo warns Aguero he wants to be Man City top dog

Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo admits he wants to be top dog at the Etihad.

Negredo was delighted with his Capital One Cup hat-trick against West Ham United this week.

He is now just one goal behind Sergio Aguero in City's scoring charts.

"I am in a great moment, but I hope to get even better," he said. "I need to get more goals and catch Sergio up quickly, because I know that when he comes back from injury, he will score plenty.

"But, the way I am feeling and the way my game is going, I do feel this could be my best moment so far. This could be the best season of my career. I'm feeling comfortable, I score a lot of goals and hopefully I can make some assists. This is how I want to continue for the rest of my time here. The only real target, though, is to grow, to improve as a player and become better as I go along."
