Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈseɾxjo aˈɣweɾo]) (born 2 June 1988 in Quilmes, Argentina) is an Argentine footballer who currently plays as a striker for Atlético Madrid in Spain's La Liga and the Argentine national team. At the age of nine he joined Independiente, the team he always supported, after showing great promise in several small-town teams such as Loma Alegre and Los Primos. A few years later, but much earlier than expected, he would fulfil another dream: making his debut in the top division. He was 15 years, one month and three days old when Oscar Ruggeri, by then Independiente's coach, sent him on as a replacement for Emanuel Rivas with 21 minutes left in a game against San Lorenzo.

Early life
Agüero was born in Quilmes, Buenos Aires on 2 June 1988 into a large and poor family with seven children whose economic welfare for his prominent career meant a great help to them. His mother, Adriana, was a housewife, and his father, Leonel, was a taxi driver. Kun is the second child of the seven, but unlike his siblings Yesica, Gabriela, Maira, Daiana, Mauritius and Gaston, he took the name of his mother, Agüero, and not Del Castillo, the name of his father. Agüero started playing football at a young age and he often played on a pitch in his local neighbourhood, Villa Itali. He was quoted as saying that the best place for children to learn how to play football was on the street, and that doing so helped him in his own development. Agüero joined the junior teams of Club Atlético Independiente aged 9.
Thus, Aguero broke Maradona's record and became the youngest footballer to play an official game in the Argentine top division. Even though seven months would go by before he would start a game with the team, Aguero had already showed great promise and appeared to be the new icon of Argentine football.
By 2005, the offers from Europe started arriving and he was transferred to Atletico Madrid for around 23 million euros. Aguero has proved his class with consistent displays at Atletico since his arrival in Spain. His partnership with Uruguay's Diego Forlan has been dynamite for the capital city club, with his pace, power and finishing ability making him a real handful for any defender.
However, his love affair with the club came to an end in June 2011 when he asked for a transfer and joined Manchester City the following month for a fee of around £39 million.
Strengths: His ball control and powerful bursts make him almost unstoppable in the box. A fine finisher went presented with a chance, he has a capacity to create in the most difficult circumstances.
Weaknesses: He sometimes lacks focus and can be selfish with the ball.
Career high: Helping Atletico to win the 2010 Europa League with two assists in the final.
Career low: Except on isolated occasions, he has not yet been able to shine with the national team.
Style: Direct, strong, cool-headed, a bull of a striker.
Quotes: ''Every era has its best soccer player and hopefully Aguero is the best of this. He is going through a very good time and when he has the ball at his feet there is the feeling that something will happen, and always good.' Does that sound like anyone familiar?'' Atletico president Enrique Cerezo, October 2008.
