Gabby Agbonlahor has said that Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez has been terrific so far this season.
Speaking on talkSPORT, the World Cup winner has four goals and three assists in all competitions.
Now, Gabby Agbonlahor has lauded Julian Alvarez, who has been in sensational touch this campaign.
Gabby Agbonlahor says Julian Alvarez is in ‘frightening form’
Branded as ‘extraordinary’ by Khaldoon Al-Mubarak, the Argentine has thrived playing as one of the No.10’s behind Erling Haaland.
While there were several question marks about how the 23-year-old would ever get game time at City due to Haaland’s presence, all of these doubts have been put to bed after De Bruyne’s long-term injury.
Now, Gabby Agbonlahor has said that Julian Alvarez is one of the many positives for Manchester City, which is why it makes it hard to look past them in terms of winning the Premier League once again.
“[Jeremy] Doku’s come in and done well, Jack [Grealish] has come back from injury now, Alvarez is in frightening form”, he said.
Julian Alvarez has a case for being the treble-winners’ best player this season
Gabby Agbonlahor is right to pinpoint how exceptional Julian Alvarez has been this season and alongside Rodri, he has been Manchester City’s best player this campaign.
Initially, while Alvarez was putting up goal and assist numbers, he did not seem like a natural fit in this newfound role.
The former River Plate goalscorer’s instincts as a striker were clear as day alongside the fact that technically, he seemed underdeveloped to play in deeper, central pockets.
But game by game, Julian Alvarez is improving technically and as a creator whilst also putting the numbers up on the board as he looks at his absolute best.
Pep Guardiola has found the perfect way to fit the highly-rated striker into the side and he has grabbed his opportunities with both hands so far this season.
