Kevin De Bruyne has congratulated Julian Alvarez for winning the World Cup and believes he's had a great start to life at Manchester City.
Despite being the reigning South American footballer of the year, Alvarez's arrival from River Plate in the summer was overshadowed somewhat by the signing of fellow striker Erling Haaland. The Norwegian sensation is understandably the first choice to lead the line which has meant the majority of Alvarez's Premier League appearances have come off the bench.
The 22-year-old has still made a promising start, however, with seven goals and took that confidence into the World Cup where his introduction into the starting XI turned Argentina's fortunes around and spurred them on to lift the famous trophy. De Bruyne is pleased for Alvarez and assessed the impact he's made at the Etihad.
