by Paul Merson, the Brazilian completed 1.9 successful dribbles per 90 and had 1.3 shots on target per 90.<\/p>\n<p>The aforementioned numbers highlight his ability to get past opponents before troubling goalkeepers, something Son often did during his decade in the capital.<\/p>\n<p>Savinho has also succeeded in completing 83% of the passes he has attempted this season, creating 1.3 chances per 90 for his teammates at the Etihad.<\/p>\n<p>    His record since then shows the ability to find the back of the net on his own or even pick out teammates, making him the perfect all-round forward option.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no denying that the Brazilian has struggled to live up to expectations at the Etihad in recent years, but has often had to rely on time off the bench to make an impact.<\/p>\n<p>    Sabinho is likely to star in the final third under De Zerbi, and his faith in the forward could pay dividends in the Premier League next season.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a350 million is a big deal for a youngster, but if he can approach the level Son achieved in north London, it could prove to be a bargain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                              \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"better-signing-than-savinho-joao-palhinha-wants-to-join-spurs\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<p>                        <\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_better_deal_than_Sabinho_26m_%E2%80%98monster_wants_move_to_Spurs\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tA better deal than Sabinho: \u00a326m &#8216;monster&#8217;
