Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, former Premier League midfielder Lee Hendrie has suggested that Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero and Danny Ings are very alike.

Ings, who is currently being linked with a move to Manchester City, could be brought into the Etihad this summer to replace Aguero.

The 33-year-old's contract is up at the end of the season and, according to Sky Sports, the Citizens have identified the Southampton No.9 as a potential successor.

Ings was in brilliant form last term, finishing the 2019/20 Premier League campaign with 22 goals, and Hendrie believes going to Manchester City would be a fabulous move for him as he drew comparisons between the England international and the man he could be replacing.

Discussing the speculation surrounding Ings' future with FFC, Hendrie said:

"I think this is where Man City are sort of looking at. You compare him to Aguero and there's a lot of likeness between them. They score goals, creativity. I've seen Danny Ings this season and he's dropped into areas where, you know, he's almost been in the 10 at times and gone into wide areas, sort of like a free role with [Che] Adams. It'd be a fabulous move for him."

On the same topic, the former Aston Villa player added:

"Man City, it would be a fabulous signing and obviously for Ings it would be. But, again, it's just whether he'd get as much game time as what he was getting at Southampton, and that'd be my only question mark."

Should Aguero indeed leave Manchester City in the summer, one possible destination could be Chelsea. According to the MailOnline, the Blues, as well as Barcelona, are weighing up a move for the Argentina international.
