Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has told his new club he would like to play in next year’s London Olympics.
The £38million summer signing is expected to make his debut from the bench in Sunday’s Community Shield against Manchester United at Wembley.
The Argentina international helped his country win the gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and has already made himself available to defend their Olympic crown, which will clash with City’s schedule next summer ahead of the 2012-13 Premier League
