Manchester City look set to complete the signing of Argentinian striker Julian Alvarez from River Plate over the coming days, for an initial fee of £17.9m.
The 21-year-old will stay at his current club until the end of the season and could join up with City as late as November if River progress to the latter stages of the Copa Libertadores.
Alvarez's 22 goals in 45 games last season fired River to the title, while also earning him the title of South American Footballer of the Year.
