Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is highly impressed with Savinho’s performances at the club and has heaped more praise on the winger.
The Brazilian winger joined City from Girona in the summer and has been a key part of Guardiola’s plans in the early part of this season.
Guardiola says his No.26 has adapted to life at the club so quickly because he is eager to improve every day.
“What I like is I have the feeling he wants to be the best, the best on the pitch, to try things and participate in everything, to have the ball and try again,” said the boss in Friday’s press conference.
“He’s not scoring goals but he will take the ball and shoot. We had a free-kick against Wolves and he wanted to take it.
“He’s a young guy and I have the feeling that he’s here to become a good player.
“That defines the really good players. With courage and consistency with his ambition he will get there, Pep Guardiola said at a city’s press conference today”
Manchester City will have the chance to go top of the Premier League table, if they beat Southampton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday and Liverpool drop points against Arsenal on Sunday.
