Spurs boss Pochettino: Man City's Aguero best striker in world

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino rates Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero as the best in the world.

Spurs meet City later today.

"When Aguero plays it is like classical music in my head," Pochettino said. "It is unbelievable. I think he is the best striker in the world. For me, he is. I love Aguero.

"It's like Mozart. Seriously. It is positive. Beethoven is too crazy.

"For me, Aguero is the best. (Lionel Messi) is not a striker striker, Cristiano Ronaldo is not a striker striker, but Aguero is a striker. For me he is the best. Everything you have to have as a striker, he has.

"He is Argentinian like me but I am not biased. He is the best. We need to make it difficult for him, to make the game difficult, to avoid the possibilities of him scoring."
