  "account": "Manchester City has welcomed Tottenham Hotspur's new signing Savio Moreira de Oliveira, the 22-year-old Brazilian winger, with a £75 million initial fee and a rebranding of his name from Savinho to Savio. The move comes after a year-long pursuit by Spurs, who initially missed out on signing the talented player in 2023 under previous manager Thomas Frank.\n\nIn his two seasons at City, Savio made 84 Premier League appearances, scoring seven goals and providing 16 assists. After joining City from French side Troyes for £30.8 million in 2022, he experienced a drop in involvement following the signing of Antoine Semenyo in January 2024. However, his 2024-25 performance, recorded while playing for only 1,773 minutes, highlights his value as a transfer target for Spurs. Savio led the division for open-play assists from the left wing with 0.41 per 90 minutes, creating the most chances among players with at least 1,000 minutes played that season. His ability to carry the ball and create chances for teammates has made him a sought-after addition to Tottenham's squad.",
