Ronald Koeman likens Sergio Aguero to Romario

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman compares Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero to Brazilian legend Romario ahead of the Premier League clash between the two teams on Sunday.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has praised the ability of Sergio Aguero ahead of his side's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

The Saints currently occupy second place in the table after a excellent start to the campaign, but they will lose that position should they be defeated by City on Sunday afternoon.

Koeman's team will come up against the in-form Aguero, who has netted 17 goals in 18 games this season, and the Dutch coach has likened the Argentine to Brazilian legend Romario, whom he played with during his time at Barcelona.

The 51-year-old told reporters: "The player that I would compare Sergio Aguero to is Romario.

"Sometime you think he is sleeping and then in the next moment he is scoring - that is a big quality to have."

Southampton have conceded just one goal in six matches at St Mary's in the league this season.
