Savinho, a winger for Manchester City, has extended his two-year contract until 2031.

The Brazilian, who is 21 years old, joined sister club Troyes for £30.8 million in 2024 and is currently in his second year.

Savinho has scored four goals and added 12 assists in 54 games for Pep Guardiola’s side.

He stated, “I’m incredibly happy that I can sign this new contract with City.”

“It’s a very special feeling knowing that Pep and the club have backed me up.” It really means a lot to my family and I.

Savinho’s transfer to Tottenham was afoot when City vowed to keep him in mind, but the club were quick to say he wasn’t going to sell.

The former PSV Eindhoven and Girona player said, “I feel like I have so much to improve on. I am still young and very eager to keep learning.”

“But I know that working with Pep and his staff will allow me to continue to develop as a player.”

Guardiola predicted that Savinho would become the club’s “top player.” City manager last month.

It’s always about goals and assists, he continued, “for the people up front.” Last season, Savinho produced a lot, but he was a little too busy in the final third or the last few moments.

However, he will become a top-class player once he realizes that because he can play on both sides, has the speed, and has the work ethic, and that because he is so young, the more he develops.

“Savio will make this step, and it will come naturally, and he will be a top player for Man City,” he said.

“Savinho is still very young, but he has already demonstrated that he possesses the qualities needed to become a truly outstanding player,” said City’s director of football Hugo Viana.

Rugby World Cup

Stormers (8) 26

Roos, Simelane, de Villiers Con: Matthee Pens: Matthee 3

Ospreys (10) 10

Ospreys suffered a second successive Rugby World Cup (URC) defeat in South Africa with a 26-10 loss to Stormers in Cape Town.

Mark Jones’ side took a 10-8 half-time lead thanks to two tries from Wales scrum-half Kieran Hardy, who also raised hopes for a third win in a row against this particular South African opposition.

Evan Ross, the Stormers’ eighteenth tries, Wandisile Simelane, Paul de Villiers, and substitute Paul de Villiers led the charge, while fly-half Jurie Matthee added 11 points.

The Stormers won with a 35-0 victory over defending champions Leinster on the opening weekend, giving them a home win.

The Welsh side was dominated at the scrum with six set-piece penalties, but Hardy, Dewi Lake, Harri Deaves, Ross Moriarty, and Daniel Kasende were among the notable individual performers.

In the opening round, the Ospreys lost to the Bulls in Pretoria, where they were joined by Wales trio Hardy, Gareth Thomas, and James Ratti, while Stormers scrumhalf Dewaldt Duvenage made his 100th appearance.

Ospreys made a strong start following South African wing Kasende’s kickoff, which produced a signature Hardy try.

Moments later, Roos seized on a Matthee cross kick to level the scores after being denied.

Ospreys captain Lake had a significant impact in the opening exchanges, but the visitors’ scrum was immediately under siege.

No. 8 Moriarty, who had the impressive Kasende serving as the impressive run and scoring pass, set up the set-piece play that resulted in a second Hardy try.

As the visitors drew level with two points at half-time thanks primarily to a defensive effort and breakdown superiority, Matthee missed a penalty after another Ospreys scrum infringement before slotting a second one over.

The Stormers opened the scoring for the first time in the second half thanks to their once again outstanding scrum dominance.

Before de Villiers was sailed over from a lineout, Simelane started and completed a flowing move down the right.

Dewi Lake, the captain of the Ospreys, said, “It is a huge positive for us to start quickly again as we did last week.

“We are kind of letting the game slip at this point, probably for 10 to 15 minutes after half-time.”

Kotze, Vermaak, Sandi, Van Heerden, Dixon, De Villiers, Ungerer, and Swart are the replacements.

Walsh, Kasende, P. Cokanasiga, P. Cokanasiga, K. Williams, Giles, Hardy, G. Thomas, Lake (capt), R. Davies, Sutton, Ratti, Deaves, Moriarty, and R. Cokanasiga.
