OFFICIAL: Tottenham Hotspur signs Savinho from Man City

According to Tottenham Hotspur official announcement, Man City winger Savinho joins the club. 

Tottenham Official Statement:

We are delighted to announce the signing of Sávio from Manchester City, subject to work permit.

Sávio said: "It's taken a while but I'm very happy to be here.

"It's a wonderful opportunity at a brilliant club with one of the best managers in the world.

"As soon as I spoke to the Head Coach I knew I had to come. He told me he wants to help me reach the highest level, and I believe we can do that together, as a team."

An exciting and pacey winger, the 22-year-old Brazil international joins us after two seasons with Manchester City.

Born in Sao Mateus, Brazil, Sávio signed for the youth team of Atletico Mineiro, earning his professional debut at just 16 years of age in August, 2020. In his second season with the senior side, the winger helped the team secure a historic domestic treble.

After 35 senior appearances and two goals for Atletico Mineiro, Sávio headed to France to sign for Troyes before joining PSV Eindhoven on loan in 2022/23.

A second loan spell followed the year after with a move to Girona and this sparked a breakthrough season for the young attacker. Across an outstanding season he competed 104 dribbles, 18 more than any other player in La Liga.

An impressive campaign saw the Spanish side finish third in the league, their highest-ever finish, and secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the club’s history. A key part of the historic season, Sávio ended his loan spell with Girona with 41 appearances and 11 goals.

After featuring for his country’s youth teams across a number of age groups, he earned his first call-up to Brazil’s senior squad in March, 2024, making his debut in the same month against England in a 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium. Later representing his nation at the 2024 Copa America, he has 13 caps and one goal for the Seleção to date.

Welcome, Sávio!
