Sergio Aguero takes no.10 shirt for 15/16

But fear not, City supporters will not lose out because of the switch!

Happily, Sergio has made an incredible gesture to fans who have already bought this season’s home or away first-team shirt bearing his old no.16 squad number.

The current Etihad Player of the Season and Barclays Premier League Golden Boot winner has invited supporters to send in their 2015/16 shirts with “Kun Aguero 16” for him to sign and send back.

Or, the club will supply an alternative emblazoned with the Argentine ace’s new no.10.

Explaining the number change, Aguero said: “The No. 10 shirt means a lot to me.

“When I arrived at City, Edin had it - he wore it very well, and of course, I respected it.

“That’s why I picked the No. 16. I must admit, I have warmed to it over the past few years and shared many special moments in it but the no.10 shirt is very special for me.

“I always felt a connection to it, and even more so now.”

Kun resumes his winning relationship with the iconic number which launched his career at Independiente and Atletico Madrid.

City’s newest centurion joins an historic line of South American footballing greats to bear the no.10, including compatriot Diego Maradona, Pele and, of course, his great friend, Lionel Messi. Sergio wears No.20 for Argentina due to the fact Messi currently occupies the No.10.

Some of City’s famous No.10s include Edin Dzeko, Shaun Goater, Asa Hartford, Garry Flitcroft, Neil Young, Robinho and Georgi Kinkladze.
