Manchester City complete £21m Savinho transfer as their first summer arrival with the 20-year-old Brazilian signing a five-year contract at reigning Premier League champions

Brazilian prodigy Savinho vowed to solve Manchester City’s right wing riddle after signing for £21million on Thursday evening.

The forward, whose starring role in Girona’s unlikely title tilt in La Liga saw him called up to Brazil’s Copa America squad, joined the Premier League champions from sister club Troyes in a deal that could reach £32m.

City identified the 20-year-old as a target midway through last season and were making regular checks on his progress with a view to him heading on their tour of the United States to impress Pep Guardiola.

‘I like playing one against one, making assists, scoring goals too, and helping the team. My main characteristic, what I like the most, is being happy and getting fans up off their seats.’

The attacking talent enjoyed an outstanding season in Spain with City’s sister club Girona where his 11 goals and 10 assists helped them qualify for the Champions League for the first time.

Savinho will wear the No. 26 shirt for City next season that was previously worn by former title-winning star Riyad Mahrez and has been vacant ever since his departure for Saudi Arabia.

The Brazilian picked the number with Mahrez one of his favourite players growing up during which time he won five Premier League titles and one Champions League alongside other major honours.
