Arsenal to battle Man City for signing of Brazil wonderkid, 17, as £5.5m bid is tabled

dailystar.co.uk:

Arsenal will battle it out with Premier League rivals Manchester City for the signature of 17-year-old Brazilian wonderkid Savio.The Gunners, along with the Red Bull group which includes RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg, were reportedly leading the race for the teenage Atletico Mineiro winger after making contact with the South American club in December.But according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Man City have now launched their own £5.5million bid plus add-ons which threatens to hijack Arsenal’s interest.The deal is expected to include a sell-on clause while negotiations ensue, with City looking to loan the player out to PSV Eindhoven next season if they manage to sign him in the summer.Savio was handed his debut back in September 2020, aged just 16.He has made 23 appearances already for the side on the left-flank, catching the eye of some of Europe’s most elite clubs.City’s proposal is understood to be similar to the one they launched to successfully sign another Brazilian teenager - Kayky - from Fluminense last April.Do you think Man City will win the race for wonderkid Savio?
