What they're saying

"
Savinho's involvement for Manchester City fell sharply last season after the club signed winger Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in January. Savinho registered eight Premier League assists that season, all from open play, despite playing only 1,773 minutes. On a per-90 basis, he ranked third for open-play assists with 0.41, while only Mohamed Salah created more chances per 90 than Savinho's 2.2.
