Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez is happy to fight for his place.

The former River Plate has impressed in the first months of his Premier League career.

"In all teams there is internal competition, but healthy competition as they always say. It's always good to compete and share the dressing room with the best players in the world," he said.

"You learn and grow a lot. I'm here to do those things.

"There are many good players here, they all play beautiful football. Skillful football. I always said I wanted to play with the best players in the world. Well, now here at Manchester City, but also in the national team.

"The first days I told my family that I was very surprised by Ilkay (Gundogan) and Kevin (De Bruyne) for how they control the ball, how they move in tight spaces and for their technical ability."
