Man City are lucky to have a player like Sergio Aguero, says Ilkay Gundogan

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has heaped praise on his fellow teammate Sergio Aguero ahead of the upcoming season.

The blue half of Manchester were simply astonishing last year as they ran away with the Premier League title almost from the off. Pep Guardiola's side amassed a Premier League record haul of 100 points whilst breaking a number of records en-route to their title win.

City's attacking threat was once again personified by the talents of Aguero who is currently the club's all-time top scorer, and on Sunday he broke the 200-goal mark for the club as City defeated Chelsea 2-0 in the Community Shield, courtesy of two Aguero strikes.

Gundogan spoke to reporters (via Sky Sports) about the Argentine forward, claiming that the club are lucky to possess the talents of both Aguero and Brazilian youngster Gabriel Jesus.

"We feel very lucky to have Sergio in our team, a striker like him," said Gundogan.

"On top of that even Gabriel (Jesus) with his ability and his quality.

"We have two great strikers and feel very, very happy."

It took Aguero just thirteen minutes to break the deadlock at Wembley after some neat work from talented midfielder Phil Foden, who found the path of the Argentine before he thumped the ball past Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero.

His second half strike secured the win for City and their first piece of silverware entering the new season.

Manchester City's first match of the season is against Unai Emery's Arsenal side this Sunday.
