Fresh reason has emerged concerning Sergio Aguero’s insistence to join Chelsea despite having more sumptuous interests from other clubs outside the Premier League.

There are reports that Chelsea lead the race for the Manchester City star, who is to end his decade-long stay in the North West this summer when his contract expires.

The Argentine’s ambition to break Premier League goalscoring records is behind his desire to stay in England, in a boost to Chelsea’s hopes of landing the free agent.

Aguero will have offers from the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, but his preference would be to remain in the Premier League as the 32-year-old believes he still has much to give in this country.

And adding to his Premier League goals tally is a major reason as to Aguero’s desire to stay in English football, according to the Evening Standard.

The 32-year-old currently sits in fourth spot in the Premier League’s leading scorers charts, with his 181 goals just six behind Andy Cole’s 187 in third.

Alan Shearer’s 260 strikes may be an unreachable objective for Aguero, but a further two or three years in England could see him pass Wayne Rooney’s tally of 208.
