Manchester City star and Argentine attacker Sergio Aguero has claimed that he and Uruguayan ace Luis Suarez are the “Messis” of the English Premier League. The Citizens striker says he and Suarez, both being South American, love to dribble the ball and, again, both being South American, do so in a manner similar to the South American Blaugrana star. Though often being referred to as the "Cristiano" and "Messi" of England, Aguero says there is no reason why they both can't be "Messis."

These comments of the Argentine come as Aguero and Suarez are both set to square off in a vital English Premier League encounter this Sunday at the Anfield Road, one which could influence the side that will end the season with the league crown. With the Aguero (15) and Suarez (29) both enjoying a good season of goal-scoring, the encounter is expected to be an exciting one.

When speaking to FourFourTwo, Aguero said: “I’d say instead of Messi and Ronaldo… (we are the) two Messis!”

“We’re both Messi. I mean, I have to be him because I’m Argentine, but Luis is also South American and loves a dribble so why can’t we both be him?” 

The "Messis" of the EPL?
