Haaland has been argubaly the most in-form player in world football since he arrived at the Etihad, notching a remarkable 17 Premier League goals in 11 games. His tally across all competitions now sits at 22 in a City shirt and both his teammates and fans couldn't be happier with the start he's made.

However, with that in mind - Haaland wasn't the only striker City brought into the club over the course of the summer. Former River Plate sensation Alvarez also joined the side for £20million and has been forced to operate in the shadow of the Norwegian superstar.
