Arsenal hero Martin Keown has likened Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez to former teammate Dennis Bergkamp.

Alvarez has been superb for Premier League leaders City this season.

Keown said: "He reminds me of Bergkamp because he starts as a striker and just wanders into that position and you're wondering who will pick him up.

"They haven't missed De Bruyne, which is a massive credit to him.

"His intelligence of movement where he wanders into that spot, always looking for space, always in the pocket and they always find him. He's always on the half-turn, ready to go, looking for the big man up top. He stretches the back line.

"They're playing now at an incredible level, wonderful talents all over. He'll drift out wide as De Bruyne does occasionally. He's got everything ahead of him, a wonderful talent."
