Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has hailed the talent and goalscoring ability of Chelsea transfer target and Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is keen on signing a striker this summer and has been linked with a move for the World Cup-winning Argentine.
Aguero told Stake.com: “A forward of the stature of Lautaro can play in the best leagues in the world.
“And of course he would do very well in the Premier League. He has talent and goalscoring ability and I think he would adapt very well to the English league.”
On the possibility of Mateo Kovacic swapping Chelsea for the Etihad, Aguero added: “We know that Kovacic is a midfielder with very good ball handling, very much like City. He has gone through Real Madrid, Chelsea and experience also counts.
“We will have to see what Ilkay [Gundogan] decides, he has been key at City and in the last two seasons in particular. I would love for him to continue at the club, although I respect the final decision he makes. He is a great professional and a better person.”
