Manchester City fans are excited about their new Brazilian star who is already making waves at Copa America.

Savio, also known as Savinho, has just completed a phenomenal debut season with Girona in La Liga, and Manchester City have swiftly secured his signature.

The 20-year-old left-footed winger is expected to provide competition and depth to City's wide attacking options, with the club hoping he can develop into a first-team regular.

Savio to light up Premier League with Manchester City

Manchester City's affiliation with Savio's parent club, Troyes, and Girona, both owned by the City Football Group, facilitated a smooth transfer process, allowing City to fend off interest from other potential suitors.

Savio's impressive performance for Brazil, scoring a goal in their 4-1 win over Paraguay, has generated excitement among City fans ahead of his arrival.

Last season with Girona, Savio accumulated 21 goal contributions (11 goals and 10 assists), surpassed only by top scorer Artem Dovbyk.

His outstanding performances earned him a spot in the La Liga Team of the Season.

While still young and raw, Savio has already demonstrated his exceptional talent, and his potential for growth and development is endless.
