Ray Parlour plays down Arsenal's hopes of signing this Premier League striker
ARSENAL legend Ray Parlour has played down his former club's hopes of signing Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.
Ray Parlour would love to see Sergio Aguero at Arsenal
Aguero's future at Manchester City has been thrown into doubt following January's arrival of Gabriel Jesus.
City boss Pep Guardiola has dropped Aguero for the last three Premier League games in favour of £27million signing Jesus, who is now out with a foot injury.

Former Arsenal midfielder Parlour believes Aguero would be a great signing for the Gunners but admits the north London club are unlikely to pay the Argentine's hefty wages.

“That would be good," Parlour replied. “That would be a nice signing, £300,000-a-week though so I’m not too sure!
“Arsenal would be a much better team with Aguero in it.
“Why would Man City want to sell him? They are trying to rule the Champions League over the next few years.”
