New Man City signing Julian Alvarez makes playing style admission

Manchester City's summer arrival Julian Alvarez has revealed the Blues' similarity to former club River Plate will aid him in Pep Guardiola's selection plans.

The Argentine was signed on deadline day in January, the same day as his 22nd birthday, but he returned to his former club on loan. Alvarez finished as top scorer during their title-winning season.

He joined up with his City teammates for their tour of America as the Blues faced Club America and Bayern Munich in preparation for their Premier League title defence this season. The 22-year-old featured in both games, replacing Erling Haaland against Julian Nagelsmann's side shortly before half-time during their 1-0 win.
