Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is impressed by summer arrival Julian Alvarez.
Guardiola has backed Alvarez to thrive up front when Erling Haaland is rested by Manchester City.
"I knew him in a bit from the TV, the clips at River Plate – I am surprised how good he is," Guardiola said. "All of us are impressed how he is as a centre forward, the work ethic and many things.
"Definitely when Erling doesn't play, we will play Julian, I am pretty sure.
"He is always positive and always in training sessions he gives everything.
"I like these kind of players. He was involved in two goals in the last game so he has quality to play. We are delighted. Julian is an exceptional player."
