PREMIER LEAGUE fans are fuming that Manchester City got their hands on Savinho.
The seven-cap Brazil ace made his debut on Sunday after arriving from sister club Troyes in a £21million deal last month.

He was unfortunately forced off injured
Riyad Mahrez is a Man City legend
That fee, which could rise to £33.6m, is already looking like a bargain.
Savinho started on the left flank but switched wings with Jeremy Doku after 15 minutes,
He looked comfortable on the opposite side until injury forced him off at half-time, showing a few flashes of the ability.
And that was all rival supporters needed to see – comparing the winger to Riyad Mahrez.
One posted: “Savinho man. They got themselves a Mahrez regen. I feel sick.”
Another added: “I see mahrez everytime I watch savinho.”
A third wrote: “Savinho is giving Mahrez regen vibes.”
A fourth posted: “Savinho is good. He reminds me of mahrez, direct, take your man on and create chaos. Bargain.”
Erling Haaland opened the scoring as City began their campaign with a 2-0 win at Chelsea.
The Blues put up a fight but former midfielder Mateo Kovacic settled the tie with a late long-range effort.
