Manchester City fans look like they can start getting excited about a player who will thrill them for years to come.
Despite attracting interest from a host of top clubs in Europe, Julian Alvarez appears to be closing in on a £17.9million move to the Premier League champions from River Plate.
Since his departure, City have struggled to find a Sergio Aguero replacement for a whole host of reasons. Alvarez's mooted arrival is not expected to affect the club’s pursuit for a more established centre-forward in the summer, but the 21-year-old has qualities that could see him become a regular in Pep Guardiola's star-studded line-up.
