Savinho is the latest fresh face to arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Roberto De Zerbi's first-team overhaul continues - with the Brazilian's squad number for the season released
Savinho will wear number 17 at Tottenham Hotspur for the season, having arrived in a £75million move from Manchester City.
The Brazilian winger has also changed the name displayed on the back of his shirt to read Savio for the season, as opposed to Savinho.
The 22-year-old, whose full name is Savio Moreira de Oliveira, has joined the Lilywhites on a long-term contract, and will hope to hit the ground running during the club's tough test against Newcastle United on home soil in the Premier League on Saturday, August 29.
While Spurs first face Charlton Athletic in the second round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday, Savinho is anticipated to miss the fixture as a result of just arriving in North London, having not trained with the rest of Roberto De Zerbi's first-team.
Spurs announced the signing of Savinho on Tuesday morning, as a summer of big spending rolls on.
A statement from the club read: " An exciting and pacey winger, the 22-year-old Brazil international joins us after two seasons with Manchester City.
"Born in Sao Mateus, Brazil, Savio signed for the youth team of Atletico Mineiro, earning his professional debut at just 16 years of age in August, 2020. In his second season with the senior side, the winger helped the team secure a historic domestic treble.

"After 35 senior appearances and two goals for Atletico Mineiro, Savio headed to France to sign for Troyes before joining PSV Eindhoven on loan in 2022/23.
"A second loan spell followed the year after with a move to Girona and this sparked a breakthrough season for the young attacker. Across an outstanding season he completed 104 dribbles, 18 more than any other player in La Liga.
"An impressive campaign saw the Spanish side finish third in the league, their highest-ever finish, and secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the club’s history. A key part of the historic season, Savio ended his loan spell with Girona with 41 appearances and 11 goals.
"In July, 2024, he earned a move to Manchester City and made his debut in the FA Community Shield the following month. A Premier League debut followed shortly after, with a first UEFA Champions League goal coming in January, 2025.
"Savio made 84 appearances, scoring seven goals, for Manchester City and was part of the team that secured a domestic cup double earlier this year, as City won both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
"After featuring for his country’s youth teams across a number of age groups, he earned his first call-up to Brazil’s senior squad in March, 2024, making his debut in the same month against England in a 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium. Later representing his nation at the 2024 Copa America, he has 13 caps and one goal for the Selecao to date. Welcome, Savio!"
Speaking about the move, Savinho added: "It's taken a while but I'm very happy to be here. It's a wonderful opportunity at a brilliant club with one of the best managers in the world.
"As soon as I spoke to the head coach I knew I had to come. He told me he wants to help me reach the highest level, and I believe we can do that together, as a team."
Roberto De Zerbi, meanwhile, said: "Savio is a player who brings energy, imagination and quality in wide positions. He has the courage to attack defenders and the ability to change a game with his creativity.
"We’re very pleased to have him with us, and I’m looking forward to working with him, helping him continue to grow and seeing him bring his personality to the team."
