John Stones believes that Julian Alvarez is currently the most underrated player at Manchester City.

This sentiment is echoed by others at the Etihad Stadium, including manager Pep Guardiola, who believes Alvarez deserves to start regularly. Bernardo Silva also praised the Argentine striker as a top player.

Stefan Ortega described Alvarez as an incredible player who still has room for improvement. When asked about his most underrated teammate, Stones mentioned Alvarez as the standout choice.

“I put Julian Alvarez”, Stones told Sky Sports in an interview.

“What he’s done in the game already, things that he’s won, the goals that he’s come up with, one last season against Fulham, difficult game that we were playing in away. We knew it was a must-win game, Julian came out of nowhere and put it in the top bin and he does everything so well, works hard off the ball, fights for everything.”

“I don’t know, his whole game, I’m a big, I’m a big fan. Really big.”

At just 24 years old, Alvarez has already achieved success at both club and international levels. Despite his accomplishments, he may not receive the recognition he deserves due to the presence of other elite players at Manchester City.

While he has started in most Premier League games this season, some may still see him as a backup to Erling Haaland.

The true reason for Alvarez’s lack of widespread acclaim remains unclear. However, Stones’ praise for Alvarez should shed light on his talents for those who may overlook him. Alvarez’s skill, work ethic, and impact on the team make him a valuable asset for Manchester City.
