Erling Haaland Praises New Manchester City Teammate Savinho: “He’s Been Amazing”
Erling Haaland continues to take the Premier League by storm, but even the Norwegian goal machine is sometimes left in awe.
After his latest hat-trick in Manchester City’s 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town, Haaland took a moment to shower praise on a new teammate, Brazilian winger Savinho.
Savinho, a summer signing from Troyes for £33 million, has quickly adapted to life at the Etihad. With being only 20 years old, the winger has shown flashes of brilliance in his early appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Haaland, who knows what it’s like to have the weight of expectation on his shoulders, has been impressed with how well the young Brazilian has settled in.
After the Ipswich game, Haaland spoke candidly about Savinho’s impact.
“He has been amazing so far. We are happy with everyone we have and everyone who comes,” Haaland said.
It’s high praise from a player who has seen his fair share of world-class talent in his career.
Savinho has already made an impact in key moments. In the recent match against Ipswich, he won the penalty that Haaland calmly converted to level the score.
It was a turning point in the match, and City never looked back, with Haaland completing his hat-trick and Kevin De Bruyne adding another goal to secure the victory.
The Brazilian also featured in City’s Community Shield win over Manchester United and played a role in their 2-0 triumph over Chelsea.
With just three appearances under his belt, Savinho is already turning heads, and it’s not just Haaland who’s taken notice. Football pundits and fans alike are starting to see why Guardiola was keen to bring the young talent to Manchester.
Haaland’s endorsement is a testament to the quality that Savinho brings to the team.
As the season progresses, City supporters will be eager to see more from the Brazilian, who has all the makings of a future star.
If he continues on this trajectory, Savinho might just be the next big thing at the Etihad—another gem in Guardiola’s glittering squad.
