Opinion: Man City must land 28-goal Aguero heir who Messi lavished with praise

According to a Sky Sports report, Man City still want four more signings after securing deals for both Ferran Torres and Nathan Ake, with Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez taking precedent as our ‘number one choice‘ to fill Sergio Aguero’s shoes.

Martinez, bagging 28 goals in all competitions over the last two seasons in Italy, has severely improved his finishing this campaign after being criticised for his lack of potency in front of goal.
