Manchester City have finally made a new signing, with winger Savio joining from Troyes.
Fans have been patiently waiting for some activity from the club, and the Brazilian has now become the first addition of the summer for Pep Guardiola.
Savio enjoyed a terrific campaign last season on loan at Girona.
He made 41 appearances for the Spanish side, scoring 11 goals and making 10 assists to help his side secure Champions League qualification.
It was a remarkable achievement, and Savio was front and centre.
City reached an agreement to sign the player earlier this year, and it was always a question of when he would be signed, not if. He was actually spotted in Manchester earlier this week.
City fans can’t wait to watch Savio in action, and Txiki Begiristain has already dropped a verdict fans will love.

City fans have been very patient for a new addition and now they finally have one.
Savio comes in from City Football Group-owned club Troyes, and has signed a five-year deal with the club.
fans are really looking forward to watching him play. Last term at Girona, he showed himself to be very direct and quick and being Brazilian, he has that natural flair.
Fans will get to feast their eyes on him every soon when City go to the US for pre-season, but for now sporting director Txiki Begiristain has dropped a verdict supporters will lap up.
He said (via mancity.com): “Savinho is a very exciting player and I think the City fans are really going to enjoy watching him.
“What he achieved last season at Girona was remarkable and he is already a full Brazil international. He has a big role to play for Manchester City this season and beyond.
“We are totally confident in his ability. He is still young and has the potential to become even better, and everyone knows that Pep is the best at helping players develop even further.
“But he has already shown his huge quality and technical ability and is an exciting addition to our attacking area.”
Big news
So Savio has finally been announced by the club and this will please many supporters who have been patiently waiting on this transfer.
Savio could potentially be a really exciting addition for City.
We saw last season how Jeremy Doku lit up the Premier League with his direct style and rapid acceleration and Savio is not so dissimilar.
He will be sticking around with the first-team for the 2024/25 season, and fans will back the decision of Txiki and his team that Savio will be able to make an impact.
