MANCHESTER -- Pep Guardiola says the biggest clubs in Europe have a choice of strikers, which is why he needs both Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.

Aguero, who has 18 goals from 25 appearances for City this season, was a substitute for the 4-0 victory over West Ham United on Wednesday night.

But Guardiola told a news conference ahead of City's clash with Swansea that Aguero's time from City is far from over and insists he remains a big part of his plans.

"There is no doubt about the quality of Sergio," the former Barcelona manager said. "I can say how happy I am with what he did -- except the seven games when he was banned.
