world's top strikers after the forward scored four goals against Tottenham on
Saturday.
The Argentina international took his league tally to nine goals for the season as he
twice converted from the penalty spot and provided two curled finishes to move the
Premier League champions to within two points of leaders Chelsea.
And his boss believes the 26-year-old is beginning to play at the very top of his
game after an injury-hit campaign in 2013-14.
"I think Kun, in the way in which he can work with normality in the whole week, that
he's one of the best three or four strikers in the world," he told reporters.
"Last year when he had so many injuries it's difficult to play as he did today. This
season, I think he is working very well. He is 100 per cent fit and he is
demonstrating how he can play.
"Maybe he will not score four goals each game but he will demonstrate why is one
of the best players in the world."
After dropping points against Chelsea and Stoke City in their two previous home
league matches, Pellegrini admitted he was pleased to have excited the club's fans
with a display of attacking vibrancy.
And though he bemoaned some lapses when in possession, the former Malaga coach
was pleased with the way his team were able to hit the ground running after the
international break.
"We had chances to score, and I think that's very important for the fans as I always
say it's important to be an attractive team.
"Maybe we need to not make so many mistakes, especially with the ball at our feet,
but it's important to win this game after the international break. It's very difficult
without having the players in the week to work."
