Former Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain admits he's a fan of Julian Alvarez.

The former River Plate star moved to Manchester City over the summer.

Higuain, now with Inter Miami, told TyC Sports: "Julián Álvarez is my weakness.

"He has all the qualities to be a great nine and competition for Lautaro Martinez.

"However, Lautaro earned the number 9 jersey of the national team with merit, he was the top scorer of the (Lionel) Scaloni cycle until (Lionel) Messi overtook him."
