Manchester City’s record goalscorer Sergio Aguero has confirmed the club’s statue in his honour will be unveiled in May – a decade on from his famous last-minute winner.
The Premier League giants revealed they would erect a statue at the Etihad Stadium as a tribute to their greatest-ever striker when they confirmed his departure last March.
And now Aguero has revealed the work will be completed in three months’ time, telling TYC Sports: ‘The statue in Manchester City will be ready in May.’
That month will mark 10 years since the Argentine struck the dramatic last-minute winner against QPR to win City their first league title since 1968 on the final day of his debut season in England.
The former striker, who had to call time on his career after being diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia in December following his summer switch to Barcelona, is a City legend after his famous strike in their 3-2 win over QPR on May 13, 2012.
City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak told Aguero the plans for him to be immortalised at the Etihad Stadium over the phone last year after the club commissioned a statue to mark his achievements.
