Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has signed a one-year contract extension with the club.

The 24-year-old Argentine signed a five-year deal when he arrived from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and his new deal runs until 2017.

Aguero famously scored the injury-time goal against QPR which clinched City the 2011-12 Premier League title ahead of rivals Manchester United.

Overall, he has scored 47 goals in 88 appearance for City.

Aguero had been linked with a move to Real Madrid but insisted the speculation was just rumours, external and he has backed up his stance by signing the new deal.

"I'm very happy at City and I feel very appreciated," the City website quoted Aguero as saying recently.

"It's been barely two years since I've arrived and sometimes I feel like I've been here for all my life.

"I have a fantastic relationship with the fans. That always reminds me of our title and that goal against QPR.

"Now I am looking forward to next season and pushing hard to win the title again."
