Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero believes that Luis Suarez and himself represent two Lionel Messis in the English Premier League.
Aguero has struck 15 times in the Premier League for the Citizens this season, although can claim to have seen his campaign interrupted by injury. Liverpool hitman Suarez meanwhile has rippled the back of the net on 29 occasions and is on course to collect the Premier League Golden Boot.

Both play in sides fighting for the title, with Liverpool top of the pile and Manchester City third. And Aguero believes that Suarez and himself are special talents in the context of the league.
"I'd say we are both Messi in the Premier League", he was quoted as saying by Voetbal Primeur.

"We are both Messi, I mean, I've got to be him because I am an Argentine, but Luis is a South American and he loves to dribble. So why can't we both be Messi?"
And Aguero was quick to doff his cap in Messi's direction, expecting big things from his international team-mate at the World Cup.
"Lionel is spectacular", he said.
"He makes football so much easier. It is a privilege to be alongside the best player in the world and play football with him.
"He doesn't even see the problems that other players do. Messi can play a big role in winning the World Cup."
