The CIES Football Observatory is one of the most prestigious research entities globally, known for its intelligent handling of data, capable of compiling lists that showcase some of the best players in the world based on their statistics or potential, as is the case with the topic we are discussing today.

Recently, this entity released a series of rankings classifying the most promising under-21 footballers worldwide, and here at Sambafoot, we bring you a recap of the Brazilians who made it into this select group of young talents. Today, we start with the under-21 wingers with the most potential in the world according to this list.

Savinho, the fifth most promising under-21 winger in the world

The Brazilian player who made it into this ranking is none other than one of the standout sensations of LaLiga EA Sports: Savio Moreira, better known as Savinho, a versatile forward for Girona.

In this ranking, players are classified based on an index that measures and compares their minutes played and the level of matches played with those of other players of the same age and position. Savinho managed to tie with a score of x2.02 with the Dutch forward from PSV, Johan Bakayoko, both being ranked fifth on the list.

This season, Savinho has already scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in 32 matches played for Girona and has secured a lucrative transfer to Manchester City. This indicates that this index seems to have rightly identified him as a gem to follow in the coming years.
