Aguero is bringing his ten-year stay at the Etihad Stadium to an end in the summer, according to an official news published by Manchester City on Monday.
Having scored a club-record 257 goals in 384 games, Aguero’s stupendous numbers with the Citizens means he will go down as a legend in the blue part of Manchester.
The former Atletico Madrid man has also scored 181 goals in 271 Premier League games, making him the highest overseas scorer in the competition’s history.
Aguero’s legendary status in the Premier League has forced many to label him as the best ever striker to play in the competition, but former Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland and Aston Villa forward thinks there were five marksmen who did better than the Argentine.
“He’s up there as one of the very best, you have to say that,” Bent told talkSPORT.
“His goals-to-minute ratio is incredible. In terms of Man City’s transition into what they are now, he was a major part of that, he’s an outstanding player and Man City fans will miss him.
“But, I’m putting Thierry Henry above him,” Bent continued.
“For me, Thierry is the best and personally I don’t think Aguero is in the same bracket in terms of all-round play. There’s a lot Thierry could do that Aguero can’t, but it’s very limited what Aguero can do that Thierry couldn’t.
“For being the actual best, there are so many arguments. You’d have to say Alan Shearer, 260 is an incredible record, and I think Rooney is up there.
“If you ask me who my top-five are, it would be: Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba, Ian Wright, Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer.
“So Aguero wouldn’t make my personal favourite top-five.
“And somebody who doesn’t get a mention is Andy Cole, he scored 181 Premier League goals but only one of them was a penalty, in his entire career, that’s frightening in itself!
“When you look back at Thierry, everything he did was effortless in terms of his finishing, his assists, his pace, you’d have to say in one period he was just unstoppable.
“Alan Shearer was just a goal machine, every season was 20-plus and he had two big injuries where he pretty much missed two seasons.
“Then there’s a player like Drogba, and if I’ve got to pick one player out of everyone on my list for a cup final, I’m picking Drogba.
