AGUERO DENIES DRUG ACCUSATION AGAINST FAMILY

Reports that marijuana and firearms were found in his grandmother's house led the striker to issue a full denial of the story on Thursday Sergio Aguero has emphatically denied reports that a member of his family was held in connection with a drugs raid carried out in his native Argentina. The Buenos Aires Police carried out an operation in the Eucaliptos neighbourhood of Quilmes, on the outskirts of the nation's capital and Aguero's first home.

But in a message sent on Twitter following the news, El Kun insisted that the events had no connection with his grandmother or anyone else in his family.
