Since arriving at Manchester City from Troyes in the summer Savinho has had his moments for Manchester City. The Brazilian international has shown flashes of brilliance during his time as the world champions. It is clear to see why City were so desperate to bring Savinho to the club after his impressive 23/24 season with Girona. But watching the Brazilian winger play you do get the sense that he just needs a goal to release the shackles.
So far this season Savinho has made 18 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City. He has added 5 assists in those games. But what has stood out in those appearances is his technical ability. The ability of the Brazilian international to beat a man is a standout attribute in his game. He can also provide quality service for Erling Haaland and his teammates to prosper. All that has been lacking so far this season is a goal from Savinho.
Eventually, that will come. When it does, you do get the sense that it will be what is needed for Savinho to take his game to another level for Manchester City. He is still a young player and the biggest challenge for any young player coming to a club like the world champions is showing that they belong. The Brazilian international has done that. Now he just needs a goal to truly kick on as a City player.
Speaking with mancity.com ahead of City’s clash with Crystal Palace Savinho said he is living his dream by playing for Manchester City. He further added that it is a privilege to play under Pep Guardiola and with his teammates. He said: “For me, it’s a dream come true to be here at Manchester City. I think every player dreams of playing at a big club, of winning the opportunities that I’ve had. So, I’m privileged to be here with the best coach in the world, the best players in the world.”
Savinho has made a promising start to his Manchester City career. The early signs are that he will become a crucial player for the world champions in time. He may get the opportunity to start against Crystal Palace on Saturday. If he does and can score his first goal for the club you do feel that it will spur him on to greater heights. That thought is a tantalising prospect for everyone associated with Manchester City to ponder.
