Savinho, who joined Manchester City with Vivianne Miedema, has promised to leave his mark on the club’s history. The 20-year-old Brazil winger was recruited on a five-year contract from Troyes after playing a key part on loan at Girona last season, helping the Spanish club qualify for the Champions League.
Childhood Idol: Riyad Mahrez
Savinho said that as a child, he idolised former City star Riyad Mahrez and wanted to wear the Algerian’s No. 26 shirt at the Etihad.
I’m really happy and honoured to be here. I can’t wait to put on the shirt, get on the field, and show you what I can do, he added. I view myself as part of this squad, and I will give my all for Manchester City.
Looking Forward to New Challenges
What I want is to work really hard with the coaches and teammates in order to progress. I was delighted when Girona qualified for the Champions League. The attention has now shifted to Manchester City.
It’s a new chapter in history, and I’m excited to compete in the Champions League with Manchester City. I want to build on what I achieved with Girona last season.
Mahrez has been a role model for me since I was a youngster. Yes, there are parallels between our games. He has written history here, but Mahrez is Mahrez, and Savinho is Savinho. Now it is my chance to make history here.
Miedema Ambitions with Manchester City
Savinho was welcomed by City supporters at the Etihad Stadium alongside Miedema, who came from Arsenal.
The Dutch striker scored 106 WSL goals for the north Londoners over seven years and now intends to assist City in winning the crown after being pipped by Chelsea on goal difference last season.
Team Goals Over Individual Prizes
Individual prizes are nice but I’m here to win things with City, she informed us. Over the past few years, they have played fantastic football and come extremely close. I believe my expertise can aid the ladies; it’s a great opportunity, and perhaps we can elevate our game this season.
Formidable Attack Duo with Khadija Shaw
Miedema, 28, will form a formidable attacking pair with Khadija Shaw, who scored 21 goals last season before being sidelined by injury.
Miedema stated, “She has so much quality, and we have different qualities, and I think they will go so well together.” And with Lauren Hemp and Chloe Kelly coming, I believe we’ll have plenty of scoring opportunities.”
