Manchester City have signed Brazil winger Savinho from French side Troyes until 2029 in a deal worth 40m euros (£30.8m).
The 20-year-old starred on loan at Girona last season as they finished third in La Liga.
Both Girona and Troyes are part of the City Football Group.
Savinho said City are currently the "best team in the world" and that he is excited to work under manager Pep Guardiola, who he called "one of the greatest coaches ever".
On why Manchester City is the right club for him, Savinho said: "[Because of] everything I've seen today. I just got here this morning and I turned to my agent and stepfather and said, 'there was no way I was going to turn down Manchester City'.
"I'm a Brazilian who likes to play on the front foot, to be happy, to play joyful football.
"I like playing one against one, making assists, scoring goals too, and helping the team. My main characteristic, what I like the most, is being happy and getting fans up off their seats."
Savinho, who is also known as Savio, started his career at Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro before joining Troyes in the summer of 2022.
He never played a competitive game for the Ligue 2 side, though, as he was sent on loan to PSV Eindhoven for the 2022-23 season.
After making just eight appearances for the Dutch giants, Savinho enjoyed success on loan at Girona last season, scoring 11 goals and making 10 assists in all competitions, and earned a first senior call-up for Brazil in March.
A debut against England followed and he scored his first international goal against Paraguay in the group stage of the Copa America.
City director of football Txiki Begiristain added: "He has a big role to play for Manchester City this season and beyond.
"We are totally confident in his ability. He is still young and has the potential to become even better, and everyone knows that Pep is the best at helping players develop even further.
"But he has already shown his huge quality and technical ability and is an exciting addition to our attacking area."
