Joloen Lescott has paid tribute to former Manchester City teammate Sergio Aguero.

Just under it a week ago, it was confirmed that City's all-time leading goalscorer will be leaving the Club at the end of the season after his contract expires.

"He just enjoys it. I've never met someone who enjoys what they do as much as he does," Lescott told City's website. "He grew into the culture. Whoever they get in won't be able to recreate what he has done for the Club.

"He just came and said: 'I'll play my part and just went about his business. We knew to just do our job at the back because he would do his job upfront."

Unsurprisingly, Lescott revealed that his favourite Aguero moment was the Argentine's last-gasp strike against QPR which secured the Club's first ever Premier League title.

"This goal still gives me a tingle, it was so special," he said. "Honestly, there's nobody else I would want in that situation. He's so calm in the touch and finish. It was crazy.

"Credit to him as a person - he never thought: 'I've done that, nobody else can do it.' He never ever thought about it being about him - he just carried on doing what he does the seasons after.

"Players like that are built for those moments. Players are born to do certain things and he was born to score goals. That is certain."
