Julian Alvarez won't make headlines every week for his goals, Manchester City have been warned.
Argentina football great believes Julian Alvarez is the ‘perfect signing’ for Man City

Boca Juniors hero Dario Felman insists that Julian Alvarez is the 'perfect signing' for Manchester City after the Argentina international forward sealed his move to the Etihad Stadium.
The 22-year-old marked his birthday with a move to the Premier League champions as he completed his move from River Plate.
Alvarez, who helped River to their first domestic title in seven years, will return on loan to Marcelo Gallardo's side as part of the deal which was confirmed on deadline day.
And Felman believes it will prove to be a major coup for City to land his services.
"At this moment in time, I think Manchester City is the ideal club for Julian Alvarez because he's coming from the school of River Plate," Felman told Tribal Football.
"He's really grown as a player under the guidance of the legendary player and now manager Marcelo Gallardo. Álvarez has evolved 'una barbaridad' [a lot] under the guidance of a young manager.
"Gallardo has already won everything as a manager with River Plate and this new kid appeared on the block [Alvarez] with great pace and a real nose for goal.
"Álvarez has great ball control, he's fast and he is an opportunist in front of goal, which makes him perfect for The English Premier League and Manchester City. These days, the Argentinian league is very tough and organised and competitive.
"So, it is really difficult to be scoring about twenty goals a season, which he has done. Julián Álvarez is "a la moda" at the moment as a footballer. He's grown as a person and as a player at River. By the way, River Plate is not an easy club for a player to be successful in as it is a very demanding club."
