Julian Alvarez

Julian Alvarez

Signed in the summer as a backup to Haaland, Julian Alvarez has made the most of every opportunity he’s received – he already looks to be an improvement on Gabriel Jesus, who moved to Arsenal during the transfer window.


The Mexican magician has scored five goals in 19 league appearances for the Citizens so far. This may not sound impressive, but you have to remember that he’s generally been used as a substitute.

Alvarez already looks like the finished product, with excellent ball control and sublime finishing. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget he’s only 23.
