We don't like to show off at icons, but over the years we've had an eye for a promising youngster that can only be rivaled by Arsene Wenger. For example, World Player of the Year Lionel Messi carried out his first signing with icons aged just 17. This week we were in Spain again to meet up with the player many are tipping to emulate Messi as the world's greatest in the years to come, 20 year-old Athletico Madrid and Argentinean striker Sergio Aguero.
Ok, so Aguero may have made his professional debut aged just 15 years and 35 days old, but we're still the first company to carry out a signing! The player whose record Aguero broke when making his debut is none other than Argentinean legend
Diego Maradona. For those who aren't aware, Aguero is married to Maradona's daughter. At the Aguero signing we also met another youngster who's sure to have the footballing world at his feet, well in around 2025 maybe, Aguero's son and Maradona's grandson...Best of luck from all the team at icons to Sergio for the upcoming Europa League Final, and this summer's World Cup (unless Argentina face
England, of course).
