THEY’RE two of the most glamorous stars of the Premier League, and they’re going head-to-head on Wednesday.
Manchester City predator Sergio Aguero, 32, and Arsenal’s lethal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 30, have been firing on all cylinders again this season, and both are in contention for the Golden Boot.

And gold is a colour that suits both stars well, who live a life to envy off the pitch.
They boast customised cars worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, live in stunning homes and wear expensive jewellery.
Here’s how the pair measure up.
THE GOALS
On the pitch, there’s no doubting their credentials.
Last season in the Premier League, Aubameyang scored 22 times to beat Aguero to the Golden Boot by just one goal – sharing the honours with Liverpool duo Sadio Mane and Mo Salah.
And this year it’s nip and tuck who will finish above who in the goalscoring charts. Aguero has 16 strikes to his name, while Aubameyang boasts 17.
However, overall in club football Aguero boasts an astonishing 378 goals playing for three clubs – Independiente, Atletico Madrid and City.
Aubameyang was a slow-starter, and didn’t find his feet until a move to Saint-Etienne in 2011.

Since then, he has scored 257 goals across his career.
Internationally, Aguero trumps Aubameyang for goals with 41 for Argentina to Auba’s 25 for Gabon.
THE CARS
When it comes to motors, Aubameyang and Aguero can agree on one thing – they love them customised.
Both forwards have used famed customiser Yianni Charalambous – better known as Yiannimize – to jazz up their already-expensive cars.
Since moving to these shores, the Gunners hero has built up a fleet of motors worth over £3million.
Before the Europa League final last year, Yiannimize gave Auba’s £250,000 Lamborghini an incredible pearlescent wrap makeover.
In the past, Aguero has had an £82,000 Nissan GT-R wrapped in blue and white, as well as his £350,000 Lamborghini Aventador draped in Satin black.
Aubameyang has also been pictured driving a gold-wrapped Lamborghini Urus (£170,000) and sitting on the bonnet of a £2m LaFerrari.

THE HOMES
Aubameyang recently showed off his beautiful £16million north London pad on MTV Cribs.
It boasts six bedrooms, a home cinema room, and even has a lift that takes you to the basement and a health suite, where you will find a state-of-the-art gym and a swimming pool.
The mansion is monitored by 24-hour CCTV security cameras, and also includes a spacious dining room, drawing room and study which all lead to a large garden through French doors.
Aguero recently swapped the leafy suburbs of Hale Barns for a stunning £4million 45th floor penthouse apartment at “Manchester’s most iconic address.”
He was one of the first residents of the swanky West Tower in Deansgate Square development in the city centre last summer.
The 3,180 sq ft property comes with three en-suite bedrooms, a study, walk-in wardrobes and a 24-hour “dedicated service team”.
It also has a birds-eye view of the Etihad, with the Peak District to the east and Winter Hill in Lancashire to the north all in sight.

WAGS
After separating from Diego Maradona’s daughter Giannina in 2012, Aguero has been linked with a string of beautiful women.
Living the life of the ultimate bachelor, he has reportedly enjoyed the company of Italian Instagram beauty Zoe Cristofoli in Los Angeles, and dated reality TV star Taylor Ward – the daughter of former footballer Ashley Ward.
But now, it appears he has settled down with 23-year-old model Sofia Calzetti.
They went Instagram official with a series of cute pictures on social media in 2019.
Aguero whisked her to Miami at the tail-end of last summer, driving the gorgeous blonde around in a blue McLaren Spider worth £166,000.
Alysha Behague, 33, is Aubameyang’s long-term partner and mother of his two children.
They’ve been together since his formative days as a footballer at Saint-Etienne, and like the striker she’s a fan of high-fashion.
Behague is often seen clad in Cristian Dior bracelets and joining the Arsenal hotshot on first-class flights to Dubai.

LIFESTYLE
Aguero is said to earn around £230,000-per-week, while Aubameyang (in the midst of negotiating a new contract with the north London giants) is believed to earn £180,000-per-week.
That kind of salary affords them a life of luxury.
Aubameyang loves jewellery, and has wrapped his wrist in £100,000-worth of diamond Dior bracelets in the past.
He also splashed out on a rose gold and steel diamond-encrusted Audemars Piguet watch.
In terms of clobber – it’s Gucci all the way for Aubameyang, who has been spied wearing their now iconic £2,130 red-print tracksuit – loved by all footballers.

Although Aguero does wear a £60,000 Richard Mille RM010 Titanium, he’s more of clothes-horse.
He is a fan of Gucci too, donning their hoodies, as well as Balenciaga T-shirts, and Alexander McQueen trainers.
But which one of these two will be in fashion on Wednesday night?
