Julian Alvarez is the most high-profile piece of transfer business left for Manchester City to conclude in the January window.
A month that began with the £47.6m sale of Ferran Torres to Barcelona is expected to end with an official announcement that Alvarez will mark his 22nd birthday with a permanent move to the Etihad, albeit one that will keep him at River Plate in the short term..
It remains to be seen how much impact Alvarez will have on Pep Guardiola's first team but his signing follows those of Gabriel Jesus, Douglas Luiz, Yan Couto, Kayky and others as part of City's strategy to sign up the best young talent straight from South America rather than watch them go to other European clubs first and see their transfer value rocket.
