Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits they're scouring the world for a replacement for Sergio Aguero.

Whereas City didn't buy a centre-half after skipper Vincent Kompany left and want homegrown midfielder Phil Foden to succeed David Silva, the worldwide search for a new Aguero has already started to complement the different skills of Gabriel Jesus.

"It's a completely different approach with strikers compared to David and the others," admitted Guardiola. "Strikers is numbers. Strikers is a smell of a goal. It is not easy to find it and I think all the big clubs need this kind of guy. When Sergio is fit and happy, he can do anything.

"We have a department here to look at new talented players in different countries. People talk about players to me and show highlights but I don't have time to look in depth at the specific skills."
