Aguero has some way to go to reach the 260 tally the former Magpies, Blackburn and Southampton star bagged during his career.
Kun is on 107 goals for City and poised to enter the Top 20 – he needs two more goals to overtake Ryan Giggs – and two more strikes would also see him overtake Francis Lee in sixth spot in City’s all-time list, too.
“There are some great names in the Premier League top 20, but without a doubt, for his goal tally and lead over everybody else, Alan Shearer deserves to be on the podium.
“That said, there are a number of other players I admire. I’d say it’s a matter of taste or playing style because the Premier League has hosted many of the greats – and still does: Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney and Thierry Henry to name just a few.
“But as my personal favourite, I’d like to choose Frank Lampard, who in spite of not being necessarily a striker, stands among the top 10 goal-scorers. That deserves praise.
“I had the chance to play alongside him and it was a valuable experience. He’s every inch a professional and a man you can respect.”
As for continuing to climb City’s top 10, he added: “Records have never meant much to me if I’m honest. It’s nice to break them, I admit, but they aren’t a big priority to me.
“Having said that, it still makes me proud to stand where I am in the Club’s all-time list. If I can keep racking up goals, I hope they come for the benefit of the team and football club, and not just to create personal records.”
