Bernardo Silva has backed his Man City teammate, Sergio Aguero to break Alan Shearer’s premier league record.
The Premier League legend has the highest goals in England with 260, with the City striker already netting 148 goals so far.
And 30-year-old Aguero has netted five goals in seven games for the Citizens this season.
“I think he can reach it,” said City attacker and Portugal international Silva. “He’s got the potential.
“Every season he keeps scoring more and more. We hope he can keep helping uswin more titles in Manchester.”
“Sergio is the best scorer in Manchester City’s history,” added Silva. “He’s a legend not only for Manchester City but also for the Premier League, if not the best striker in the world then one of the best.
“You have to admire players that score30 goals and next season they don’t rest, they want to score 30 or 40 again. We have to admire that and be happy to have him and enjoy it.
“If he reaches that level it will be even better because everyone knows how important Alan Shearer was for English football and for the Premier League.”
