West Bromwich Albion defender Joleon Lescott has praised former teammate Sergio Aguero, having said that he is 'as good as any striker'.
The England defender believes that there are currently none better than the Argentine at the moment.
Aguero grabbed a hat-trick in Manchester City's Champions League win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
"At the moment I wouldn't say there is a better centre-forward," Lescott told BBC Sport.
"There's a calmness about him. When he's through, you know it's a goal. Guys like him separate themselves from good players to become great.
"The goals he scored the other night - he's having to run from the halfway line, get penalties, take the penalty.
"Then the other one where he is having to run from the halfway line, take it on his left foot. Goals in other leagues are due to possession.
"For me, as a centre forward there are not many better."
Aguero took his tally to five goals in five Champions League appearances, scoring 17 in all competitions so far this season.
