Now another famous Atletico Madrid forward is set to make a major move to one of England's Big Four. Sergio Aguero, who had been rumored for months to be making a move to Chelsea dating back to the January transfer window, finally completed the switch to the London-based team for a reported £40 million transfer fee.
"Chelsea are a great club,'' Aguero was quoted as saying in an ESPNsoccernet story. ''They have become one of the most feared in Europe over recent years. London would be a really amazing city to live in as well - myself and my wife could be really happy there."
Just 21-years-old the Argentine striker Aguero is two years younger than Torres was when he made his switch. He has had a fine season scoring 17 goals in all competitions for Atletico and Argentina and is currently fighting for a place in his national team's squad.
Compared to all-time Argentine legend Diego Maradona (who currently manages Argentina) for his playing style, it probably won't hurt Aguero's chances of making the 2010 Argentine squad for the simple fact that he is also engaged to the Maradona's daughter Giannina.
