Manchester City are on the verge of completing of adding another wonder kid to their ranks in the shape of winger Zalan Vancsa.The 17-year-old has impressed at MTK Budapest and drawn interest from some of Europe’s top clubs, including Bayern Munich and AC Milan.But City have managed to fend off that interest.According to The Telegraph, the Hungarian prospect is ‘on the brink’ of signing for the Etihad Stadium outfit.The forward has scored just once so far this season, but his goal-scoring record evidently doesn’t do justice to how impressive he has been since breaking into Budapest’s senior side.It is no secret that City are in need of an out and out striker, though there is an expectation that Vansca won’t be the answer to their prayers just yet and is more likely to be sent back out on loan.With a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League, Pep Guardiola’s side weren’t expected to spend excessive amounts this month as frankly they are in no rush or need to strengthen.A striker was a priority over the summer but Tottenham were unwilling to part ways with the English no.9 despite the player pushing for the move.But they may not need to, as they are also set to sign Argentinian forward Julian Alvarez this month for £18million from River Plate.HAVE YOUR SAY! Who is the best wonderkid you've ever seen? Comment below.Alvarez was linked with a move to Manchester United this month but a deal never materialised, and City seized the opportunity by striking a deal with the Argentinian side to sign the 21-year-old but loan him back for the remainder of the season.He scored 18 goals and assisted six in 21 league appearances and drew comparisons to Sergio Aguero, which has obviously piqued the interest of the City faithful

Manchester City are edging closer to signing Argentina striker Julian Alvarez from River Plate - but they also have one eye on the summer transfer window.

Manchester City look set to sign River Plate's wonderkid Julian Alvarez for around £20million.Alvarez has some large shoes to fill at the Etihad after Sergio Aguero left the club over the summer when his contract expired.But Alvarez could be ready for that role more than most after earning comparisons to the City legend in his native Argentina.The 21-year-old, like Aguero, is small in stature and possess a low centre of gravity with an eye for goal.Alvarez even stated in an interview with La Nacion in 2019: "I like Kun Aguero a lot, and I try to copy his movements."City look to have beaten a whole host of European clubs for his signature.But Alvarez had been on the radar of the majority of top sides before he earned a call up to the Copa America over the summer, despite the strength in depth of Argentina's front line.Real Madrid had hosted Alvarez and his family for a trial when he was just 11 years old.Los Blancos had wanted to sign the youngster, but age restrictions on foreign signings in Spain halted a move. Do you think Alvarez will be a success at City? Let us know in the comments sectionInstead, the youngster rose through the ranks of River with the 2021 season being Alvarez's breakout campaign, and he's bagged 18 goals in the Argentine top flight.His standout moment came on the superclasico, against River's hated neighbours Boca Juniors, when he scored twice to help his side to a 2-1 win.One Argentine journalist wrote: "The fans burst their palms from applauding him so much when he came off."
