Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero is the only world class striker in the Premier League, says Thierry Henry

- He thinks Sergio Aguero's current form and his history make him world class
- Aguero has scored six goals in as many games for Man City so far this campaign
The Premier League currently has a group of prolific strikers like rarely seen before in its history, with the likes of Harry Kane, Alvaro Morata and Romelu Lukaku in fine form.
But former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry feels there is only one world class front man in the English top tier - Sergio Aguero.
Aguero - who has six goals in as many games this season so far for Manchester City - has earned the tag both through his current form and past achievements, says the Frenchman.

Speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, Henry said: 'The only one who is world class, or has been world class, is Aguero because of the longevity of what he has done in this league, year in and year out.
'He won the league here and he has been doing it the longest. You have to give him a bit of credit. I think sometimes we bypass Aguero like he didn't happen.'
Among the other strikers, Lukaku and Morata have made superb starts to the season after joining Manchester United and Chelsea respectively in the summer.
Henry does not think other Premier League strikers, such as Harry Kane, are yet world class
Kane meanwhile has established himself as the No 1 English forward and has been Premier League top scorer in the past two seasons.
However Henry does not feel any of these players have established themselves to the same extent on the world stage as Aguero.
He said: 'Lukaku has just arrived at Manchester United, he hasn't played long in the Champions League. For Harry Kane, last season was short in the Champions League. It was short in the Europa League and the Euros.
'Morata was often off the bench at Madrid. He had a good year at Juve but he was playing with Llorente or Tevez. They will get there and we should be happy to have these players in our league.'
