    With such an illustrious family tree in place, Aguero was never going to be short on talent. He has been proving as much in a video posted online which sees him sporting a retro Chelsea shirt from Fernando Torres’ time at Stamford Bridge.

    Aguero shows that he can - as his father once did - hit the back of the net regardless of how big the goals in question are. He also has quick feet, much like Maradona, and is part of the academy system at Independiente - the club that helped to launch his dad’s career.
