Sergio Aguero, after a 10-year association with Manchester City where he won four Premier League titles, will leave the club on a free transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window.
When asked to offer his opinion on Aguero’s departure during a press conference, the former Manchester United striker termed the Argentine one of the Premier League’s greats. But Rooney stopped short of calling the striker the Premier League’s best-ever foreign player.
Rooney named Arsenal legend Thierry Henry as the best-ever foreign footballer to have played in the Premier League. The Derby County manager puts the likes of Aguero, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Dennis Bergkamp and Eric Cantona in the pack just behind Henry.

Rooney also congratulated Sergio Aguero for his time in the Premier League.

Sergio Aguero is one of only two foreign strikers, alongside Henry, in the top 10 all-time Premier League top-scorers list. He also has the best ever minute-per-goal ratio in the Premier League for players with over 100 goals scored.
The 35-year-old further added in this regard:
