Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has refused to compare new recruit Wilfried Bony with Alvaro Negredo, insisting that no two players are the same.
The Ivory Coast international moved to the Etihad Stadium in January after a fee in the region of £30m was agreed between the Citizens and his former side Swansea City.
And since coming in as a replacement for now departed striker Negredo, Bony has widely been compared with the Spaniard both by the fans as well as his team-mates.
In fact Sky Blues' winger Jesus Navas claimed that his new team-mate reminds him of his countryman Negredo in ways more than one.
However, Aguero on the other hand insists that no two players can be the same.

"There have been suggestions that Wilfried is a similar player to Alvaro Negredo but no two players are the same", Aguero told his club's official site.
Manuel Pellegrini's team have suffered from multiple injuries up front this season, with a number of star strikers being sidelined for long periods.
However, now that the full squad is available and Bony has come in to strengthen the attacking front, Aguero hopes to reap the benefits as they head into the business end of the season.
“Now we are back to full strength and we have also added to our squad.
"Bony is a valuable addition to bolster our ranks for the final months of the season.
"Let’s hope that his presence helps in strengthening the team and I look forward to playing alongside him along with Edin [Dzeko] and Stevan [Jovetic].
"We have a lot of quality in our team which makes things very competitive and it will remain that way."
