Manchester City may have a good chance of signing La Liga wonderkid Savio.

The 19-year-old left-sided attacker plays for Troyes in France, but is spending the season on loan at Girona in La Liga.

The Brazilian has impressed as the unfancied club sit near the top of the table this term.

Per the Daily Star, City can easily secure the attacker, as both Troyes and Girona are City Football Group clubs.

Savio told Premier League Brasil in August last year: "I have the goal of playing for City, yes, I think that when I was hired my goal was always to get to City and I'm working towards that. But I have to keep my focus on Girona and do things well to get there.

"If one day I arrive at City, you can be sure that I did things well at Girona, as I am doing. I want to continue working here so that one day I can reach City, which is my reference point.

"(Guardiola and I) never had any contact, I only saw him up close. He hired Kayky, who was from Fluminense, Gabriel Jesus, so he seems to get along well with Brazilians. It's letting things happen naturally so that, God willing, one day, he can train me."
