Sergio Aguero 'tempted by Chelsea move'

Sergio Aguero is reportedly tempted by a move to Chelsea as he aims to surpass the likes of Andy Cole and Wayne Rooney in the Premier League goalscoring charts.

Sergio Aguero could supposedly be tempted by a move to Chelsea when he leaves Manchester City this summer.

The 32-year-old has enjoyed a glittering 10-year stint at the Etihad, but he has confirmed that he will seek pastures new when his existing deal runs out at the end of the season.

Another club in the Premier League is thought to be Aguero's preference for the 2021-22 campaign, and a recent report claimed that Chelsea are now the frontrunners for his signature.

According to the Evening Standard, the Argentine would certainly be open to a move to the English capital as he looks to move higher up the all-time Premier League goalscoring charts.

Aguero's 181 top-flight strikes sees him sit in fourth place behind Andy Cole (187), Wayne Rooney (208) and Alan Shearer (260), and with Chelsea hoping to bolster their attacking options further, a move to Stamford Bridge for the Man City attacker is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta have already ruled out moves for Aguero, while Liverpool are thought to be prioritising defensive targets.

However, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Juventus have all been credited with an interest in the former Atletico Madrid man as well.
