Just over one year ago, Manchester City announced the signing of promising River Plate striker Julian Alvarez. The player nicknamed 'La Arana' stayed with his boyhood club until the summer when he linked up with Pep Guardiola and his new teammates.
A year on, Alvarez has established himself as one of City's most important players and has recently been awarded a new deal, penning terms that will keep him at the Etihad until 2028.
At the beginning of the season he struggled for game time as Erling Haaland took the Premier League by storm. However, after playing a considerable role in Argentina’s World Cup triumph, he returned to the Etihad with a point to prove and he's been in fine form in recent weeks.
