Manchester City have been scoring goals for fun this season with all the focus being on Erling Haaland who has scored 23 goals since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
In the last few weeks though he has been slowly recovering from an injury which has meant he has not been leading the line but and instead Alvarez has done in a successful manner.
When he has started games in this campaign Alvarez has got eight goal contributions showing the talent that he has and that hasn’t gone unnoticed by manager Lionel Sebastian Scaloni who has picked him in his 26-man squad.
The 22-year-old already has 11 caps for his country with his two goals to his name but he is likely to be behind Inter Milan’s Lautaro Marinez in the pecking order to be leading the line.
