During his stint at Manchester City so far, Savinho has demonstrated why he is one of the best young forwards in the world.
Savinho has been given plenty of game time since he signed for Manchester City in the summer.
Pep Guardiola has started the Brazilian international in seven games across all competitions this season.
Bernardo Silva compared Savinho to Riyad Mahrez because in his eyes, the 20-year-old possesses “the same style” of play as the the Algerian legend.
Mahrez embraced the comparisons to Savinho by admitting that they have a similar playing style as well.
The Manchester City winger has earned rave reviews for his start to life in England.

Cody Gakpo hails Savinho as “so good”
Micah Richards also likened Savinho to Leroy Sane as he has dazzled in his first few months as a Manchester City player.
The youngster is justifying why Pep Guardiola’s side decided to make a summer move for him week in and week out.
Cody Gakpo, who played with Savinho at PSV Eindhoven sang his praises while speaking to GOAL’s Front Three: “He was so good. So good, yeah, very good.”
Gakpo was quizzed whether he is surprised whether Savinho is at a club of Manchester City’s stature, as he replied: “No.”
The pair played together in the Netherlands during the 2022/2023 season when the highly-rated wideman was on loan from Troyes.
Nigel Reo-Coker named Savinho as the Premier League’s best signing last month.
Even back when he trained with the former Atletico Minero trickster for a week, Manuel Akanji lauded Savinho as he was left impressed with his dribbling and wand of a left foot.
Pep Guardiola claimed Savinho could become a “top player” due to the self-belief he displayed during his Premier League debut against Chelsea.
Erling Haaland raved about “amazing” Savinho
The Sau Mateus-born speedster seems to have garnered a long list of admirers just months into his spell at the Etihad Stadium.
Considering some of the names include Bernardo, Mahrez, Gakpo and Guardiola exemplify just how talented the starlet is.
Erling Haaland also raved about Savinho after Manchester City cruised past Ipswich Town in their 4-1 victory where he scored his first hat-trick of the season.
“He has been amazing so far. We are happy with everyone we have and everyone who comes.”
The fact that Gakpo admitted that witnessing Savinho being signed by Manchester City does not shock him in the slightest indicates how outstanding of a capture he could turn out to be.
It is also important to note that the FA Community Shield winner is only getting started in a City shirt.
Once Savinho well and truly finds his feet at Manchester City, an even bigger queue of his fans could emerge.
