Transfer Rumours - Sergio Aguero

Spanish papers have linked Arsenal FC with a raid on Athletico Madrid for the young Argentinian Sergio Aguero for £25m with Jose Antonio Reyes possibly included as a make-weight.

Having just turned 19 with three caps already with Argentina (23 year old £16.5m Darren Bent has but 2, btw), Aguero is simply the best teenaged footballer in the world now that Cesc Fabregas has turned 20. He's also (predictably) tagged as the new Maradona.

Currently playing for the Argentinian Under 20's in Canada, the forward would perfectly complement the likes of Van Persie and Fabregas in the young Arsenal side. Having been a professional footballer since 15, his adjustment should be made easier by the several Spanish speaking players and coaches in the side (Wenger, Cesc, Senderos, Almunia, Merida, etc etc).

TRANSFER POSSIBILITY RATING - ?/10

I have absolutely no idea. And not for the first time. Its clear that we are in talks with several Spanish clubs about Reyes but there is no confirmation of Arsene Wenger being interested in Aguero. Having only moved to Athletico Madrid last summer in a £16m transfer Arsenal would need to pay a premium to secure the registration. Given Wenger's ability to spot this sort of talent BEFORE it costs £25m I'm not convinced that he would be able to justify this sort of transfer to himself.

However, Aguero IS a super super signing. And would perfectly fit into the side while adding something just a little different to the group. He may also enjoy linking up with international teammate Carlos Tevez.
