Spurs legend backing Man City ace Aguero for Golden Boot

Tottenham and Argentine legend Ossie Ardiles is backing Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero to top the scoring charts this season.

El Kun is already off to a flier, having struck twice in victory over Swansea City.

"He scored around 24 goals last season in an average Atletico Madrid side," said Ardiles. "Now Sergio is in England with a very good team, he will be up there scoring and will be England's top goalscorer, for sure."

On comparisons with Barcelona star Lionel Messi, Ardiles cautioned in the Manchester Evening News: "Sergio has the ability and the talent to go all the way. But, as far as Messi? No, not quite that far."
