Frank Lampard has lifted the lid on the Argentine's occasionally tardy appearances at training and how he told the coaching staff he would score them a hat-trick in the next game. Frank Lampard has revealed Sergio Aguero would often pick up fines for turning up late for training and that he didn't care about the punishments. The Argentine has developed into one of the best strikers in the Premier League since moving to City from Atletico Madrid back in 2011, scoring 112 league goals in that period.

But it appears the 28-year-old does let his standards slip when it comes to arriving on time for training, with Lampard insisting he would often be fined by the club for being late. He told Sky Sports: "At Chelsea I can't remember [who picked up the most fines for being late to training] but I will jump to Manchester City. "Aguero picked up a fair few. He just didn't care. He was so laid back and would just stroll out to the training pitch like five minutes late. "'[The coaches would say] right you're fined' and he would say 'okay, no problem. Wait until the weekend and I'll score a hat-trick and everyone will be happy'."
