The Premier League's 50 Greatest Players Of The Last Decade Have Been Ranked

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has beaten Luis Suarez and Harry Kane to be crowned the best Premier League player of the last decade.

The Daily Mirror compiled the list and broke down their selections based on certain criteria.

Mark Jones wrote: "Longevity matters. The longer a player has been in the division then the more chance they've got to impress.

"We're also not considering anyone who has been in the league fewer than two years.

"Success is a big factor. So we're talking league titles, PFA Player of the Year awards, Golden Boots, Golden Glove awards etc.

"Absolutely nothing that happened before January 1, 2010 is taken into account. Nothing. Not a thing. As far as we're concerned, these players were all created on 01/01/2010."

Aguero, 31, has already written his name in the City history books as a club legend with his time at the Etihad.

The Argentine is the club's all-time record scorer and has won four Premier League titles, along with the Golden Boot in the 2014-15 season.

Behind Aguero in second place is club teammate David Silva and City legend Vincent Kompany locked down third place.
