the english magazine FourFourTwo made the list of the ten best soccer players in South America who went through the Premier League.
Three Argentines are the ones who were chosen to integrate the prestigious and exclusive list: Sergio Agüero, Carlos Tévez and Javier Mascherano.
Masche toured the Premier with West Ham and Liverpool and is one of the chosen ones, positioned in ninth place. As indicated by the magazine: “After signing for West Ham alongside his compatriot Carlos Tévez in the most controversial deal in the history of the Premier League, and playing only five times for the Hammers, Javier Mascherano ended up starting at Liverpool. The Argentine became into one of the Anfield fan favorites (who sang an adaptation of “Seven Nation Army” to him) and scored his only league goal for the Reds in the Merseyside derby”.
The Apache, passing through West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City is in fourth position. “Carlos Tevez’s last goal at West Ham defeated Manchester United and relegated Sheffield United, who were so outraged by the striker’s starting job that they launched a protest led by local legend Sean Bean. Anyway… Tevez then won two titles with the Red Devils, before making his mark in the Premier League with bitter rivals City, sharing the Golden Boot with Dimitar Berbatov in 2010/11,” indicated from FourFourTwo.
Kun continues to receive recognition for his great career at Manchester City, a club for which he is one of the greatest historical idols, and is ranked No. 1 in the ranking. From the middle they detailed: “You know exactly where the most iconic goal – the most iconic moment – in Premier League history was. But while the goal that gave City the first title in 44 years will always be remembered as Sergio Aguero’s most remarkable, it was only one of 184 the prolific Argentine has scored in the competition; no foreign player has scored more”.
