The LaLiga standings show a big surprise: after seven days, the leader of the Spanish championship is neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona. Who is at the top of the tournament is Girona, which is enjoying a spectacular start to the season with six consecutive victories. But you can’t talk about his great present without mentioning Savinho.
The 19-year-old is one of the great revelations so far this season, as he not only stands out among his compatriots, but also stands out among other figures from the Old Continent.

Savinho’s great level in Europe
In addition to being the Brazilian with the most goal involvements in the major European leagues so far in 2023/24, the former Atlético Mineiro is also among the players with the most assists in the continent’s main competitions. Savinho has two goals and four assists, which explains the good performance of his team.

He also has four assists, the same as Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), James Maddison (Tottenham), Pedro Neto (Wolverhampton), Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig), Álex Baena (Villarreal) and Caio Henrique (Monaco).
The Brazilian’s level did not go unnoticed in Spain, where he was chosen as best player of the month in September by LaLiga.
His name is beginning to become known in the region, since until now he was not popular. Savinho joined Girona on loan this summer from Troyes, a club that invested €6.5 million to sign him from Atlético Mineiro in 2022. If he continues in this way, the Spanish club will probably have to try to sign him permanently.
