Sergio Aguero will make an incredible gesture to Manchester City fans who he left out of pocket after changing his shirt from No 16 to No 10.
The 27-year-old striker revealed on Friday night that he will change his number for the new season after the previous wearer, Edin Dzeko, moved to Roma.
The switch means the Argentinian has left some fans out of pocket if they bought the new Nike shirt with 'Kun Aguero 16' on the back.
But the star will make amends to the City faithful in one of two heart-warming ways - supporters can either send in their shirts (it only applies to the 15-16 kit) and have them signed by Aguero or they can opt to swap it for a new one with the new No 10 on the back.

He has been handed the armband in the Europa League ties and with injury question marks hanging over some of their strikers (Carroll and Valencia) Noble will need to be a force from midfield. With the club moving to the Olympic Stadium next season, relegation is unthinkable.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 16) Jack Butland (Stoke City) Former No 1 Asmir Begovic was allowed to go and warm the bench at champions Chelsea to finally give Jack Butland his big chance. He has seemingly been around forever but the former Birmingham keeper is still only 22 - Begovic was an above average player for Stoke in his five years at the club so Butland has big shoes to fill.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 15) Romelu Lukaku (Everton) You don't spend £28m on a striker and expect only 10 Premier League goals in return. The big Belgian was awful last year and his reputation, and that of manager Roberto Martinez, rests on the 22-year-old rediscovering his touch in front of goal. Everton will only go as far as Lukaku's goals take them.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 14) Jose Fonte (Southampton) Ronald Koeman's success last season was built on the Saints' superb defensive record, the second best in the Premier League. Fonte probably deserved a nod in the team of the year ahead of Gary Cahill, but with Nathaniel Clyne and Morgan Schneiderlin no longer on the South Coast, the Southampton skipper will have to be at his very best if the club are to maintain their top half status.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 13) Moussa Sissoko (Newcastle United) Newcastle enter this season as one of the great unknowns under new manager Steve McClaren. The former England boss has spent around £35m on three new players, but two of those are unproven 20-year-olds from Anderlecht. Sissoko was just about the only bright spot in a dismal campaign last year and holding onto him will prove to be a shrewd move; he is a powerful midfielder in defence and attack with an eye for goal.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 12) Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) Kane is very clearly better than a lot of players in front of him on this list. The England striker has to prove he is not a one-season wonder, but with Spurs failing to significantly strengthen this summer, it's difficult to imagine them bettering last season's fifth place finish after Liverpool and Man United strengthened again. It's hard to put Kane further up this list for that reason.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 11) Yohan Cabaye (Crystal Palace) Could prove to be one of the transfers of the summer. The 29-year-old is pure class, was a key member of two PSG title wins and was linked with Arsenal and Manchester United as recently as six months ago. Palace appear to be going places.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 10) Shinji Okazaki (Leicester City) Like Newcastle, Leicester City will be one of the great unknowns after a summer of huge upheaval that saw them sack last season's saviour Nigel Pearson. The Japanese forward, bought for £7m, has the talent and eye for goal but it's not clear how that will translate in the Premier League. New manager Claudio Ranieri has been out of the English game for 10 years and, while popular, has often drawn criticism for his methods.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 9) Jermain Defoe (Sunderland) Scored four vital goals at the end of last season as the Black Cats somehow managed to survive. Will start the season as one of the few true match-winners in the squad; Dick Advocaat will place a heavy burden on the England man scoring the goals to keep the club up once more.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 8) Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) The likely absence of Sergio Aguero puts a bit more pressure on Sterling, who at £49m probably has more than enough on his young shoulders. The way he seemingly forced a move out of Liverpool (whether financially motivated or not) has left a bad taste in plenty of mouths - the England star must deliver more than the seven goals he managed last season.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 6) Callum Wilson (Bournemouth) Eddie Howe appears to have largely trusted the team that romped their way to promotion last season, scoring 98 goals in 46 matches. That brand of attacking football will be extremely difficult to maintain as the side step up to the Premier League but Cherries fans will be hoping Wilson (who scored 20 goals last season) will continue his rapid rise.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 5) Troy Deeney (Watford) Like Bournemouth, Watford played attacking football to lead themselves to the top flight. Unlike Bournemouth, the Hornets changed manager over the summer, bringing in Quique Flores. Deeney has been superb for the club in the last three seasons, with 20 goals in each. If Watford are to survive they will be relying on their No 9.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 4) Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) Despite all the upheaval around Louis van Gaal's squad Wayne Rooney remains the top dog. With Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao gone, the captain will no longer be wasted playing in midfield, but will be used as the main striker. United still have major defensive issues and the David De Gea situation needs to be resolved. But Rooney is more than capable of scoring 30 goals - if he can do that then United are back in the title race.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 3) Petr Cech (Arsenal) Arsenal haven't had a top goalkeeper since the days of Jens Lehmann and the arrival of the former Chelsea man appears to have buoyed the squad. If he is actually worth 12 points a season then Arsenal will be Chelsea's biggest title challengers.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 2) Bradley Johnson (Norwich City) It may appear strange to place a Norwich City player this high, but the Canaries are favourites for the drop and, like the other two promoted clubs, haven't set the transfer market ablaze. Johnson was quite brilliant last season, scoring 15 goals from midfield and setting the tone for the club in pretty much every game.

Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 1 1) Eden Hazard (Chelsea) It's hard to put anyone else at the top of the list heading into the season. He's still the best player for a Chelsea team that won't look too much different to the one that won the Premier League at a canter last season.

Aguero wore the No 10 in his early career at Independiente and Atletico Madrid, but the shirt was taken by Dzeko when he arrived at the Etihad.
"The No 10 shirt means a lot to me," revealed the striker. "When I arrived at City, Edin had it - he wore it very well, and of course, I respected it.
"That's why I picked the No 16. I must admit, I have warmed to it over the past few years and shared many special moments in it but the No 10 shirt is very special for me.
"I always felt a connection to it, and even more so now."
