Barcelona chief Deco has sung the praises of Girona winger Savio.

Savio is on-loan at Girona from Troyes, with both clubs owned by the City Football Group.

Deco said on Esporte Espetacular: “Spanish football likes this type of player with dribbling ability.

"In Spain, people love to have the chance to watch beautiful football, with players of technical quality, and Savio fits into this historical profile that Spanish football has always had.

“If he continues in this line of growth, he will be very successful in Spain."
