Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez has been hyped up by a legendary former striker.

The Argentine was outstanding at the World Cup for his country, helping them to lift the trophy in Qatar.

Alvarez scored four times and linked up excellently with Lionel Messi, earning him praise ahead of the likes of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.

Former Chile forward Ivan Zamorano told Argentinian outlet Ole: "He (Alvarez) is a boy who does everything well.

“He is doing very well on the wings, he is good on the side, he is the first defender, he is united with his teammates, he plays very well with his head, he shoots well from the right and the left, he has the physical strength at short and long distance - we saw that with his goal against Croatia."

"Haaland is not good on the wings, Mbappé we saw that as number nine he does not participate much. And all that, Julian does it."
