Tottenham fans are hoping to see the best of Savio under Roberto de Zerbi in the coming months.
Tottenham have finally confirmed their seventh signing of the summer transfer window after announcing the arrival of Savio from Manchester City. The Brazilian arrives at N17 with high hopes as he looks to make his mark at Hotspur Way under Roberto de Zerbi. With the Lilywhites losing their first game of the season against Brentford, there is a sense of optimism that the 22-year-old will not have to wait too long to make his club debut for the North Londoners.
The former Manchester City star has taken the #17 shirt as he aims to create a legacy at Spurs in the coming years. Despite being signed on a long-term deal, fans will be expecting Savio to hit the ground running as the Lilywhites aim to get back to winning ways in their upcoming matches. It is important that Roberto de Zerbi plays the 22-year-old to his strengths and gives him the freedom to express himself this season.
Limited game time and opportunities were among the main reasons why Savio left Manchester City in the first place. He was not being utilised to his full potential and had seemingly reached his ceiling at the Etihad Stadium. So, a move to Spurs represents a fresh start for the Brazilian, who looks determined to bolster the attack at N17 and help the club compete for major honours during his time at Hotspur Way under Roberto de Zerbi.
Savio has completed his Premier League registration with Tottenham
Tottenham need to get back to winning ways after suffering a humbling 3-0 defeat against Brentford. The Lilywhites were played off the park, and it was clear that new faces were required to bolster the attack for the upcoming matches. And it seems as though Savio’s arrival has come at the perfect time for the North Londoners, as they prepare to right the wrongs when they take on Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
The Spurs faithful waited a long time to see Savio don the Lilywhite jersey. The transfer saga involving the talented winger went on for too long. But now, the fans will finally get to see how well the Brazilian fares under Roberto de Zerbi at N17 in the coming months. Considering the injury crisis at Hotspur Way, the 22-year-old is expected to initially feature on the right flank, replacing Mikey Moore in that position for the upcoming matches.
A lot of fans are also wondering when they will get to see their statement signing take the field for the North Londoners under Roberto de Zerbi. Well, the wait is finally over. As per Alasdair Gold (via X), the FA have confirmed that Savio has completed his Premier League registration and is now eligible to make his debut against Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Even if he does not feature in the midweek game, the 22-year-old will still be available for selection for the upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle United.
What can we expect from Savio?
Tottenham lack a bit of everything in the wide areas heading into the new season. Savio ticks a lot of boxes for Roberto de Zerbi in that regard, as he would bring flair, commitment, speed, and tricks to the Lilywhites this campaign. The Brazilian likes to isolate his markers and take on defenders in 1v1 situations. And that plays perfectly into the hands of the North Londoners, who are in need of elite ball-carriers in the absence of Mohammed Kudus.
Being only 22, the talented winger has a high ceiling and has every possibility of reaching his potential at N17 under Roberto de Zerbi’s guidance. The only negative in Savio’s game is that he is not clinical in front of goal. The Brazilian has struggled to find the back of the net in the Premier League on a regular basis. As a result, it will be interesting to see how De Zerbi manages to improve his game in that department and help him share the goal-scoring burden with the other forwards in the coming months.
