Savinho has been crowned Etihad Player of the Month for the first time, taking the award for his performances in December.

The 20-year-old winger is developing into one of Pep Guardiola‘s preferred attacking options after joining last summer.

Last month saw him notch his first goal in a City shirt before a brilliant assist in a decisive display at Leicester City.

Following up Phil Foden‘s strike, the Brazilian swept home to open the scoring at the King Power Stadium.

He then turned provider later on, crossing for Erling Haaland to nod in.

That was his second start in a row after a spell of substitute appearances earlier in December as Guardiola‘s defending champions began to arrest a difficult run of form.

He took almost half of the fan vote share, with fellow nominees Stefan Ortega Moreno and Nathan Ake some way behind.

His confidence continued into the first week of January, with two assists as well as a deflected shot for the opener during Saturday’s 4-1 defeat of West Ham earning him the Man of the Match award.

Congratulations to Savinho on this award!
