Welcome to The Radar: Premier League Insights

In our weekly column, Sky Sports' Nick Wright analyzes everything you need to know about the Premier League. From data-driven insights to opinion-based analysis, we unravel the stories, players, and tactical trends that are shaping the game. This week's focus covers Savinho's potential impact at Manchester City, Fabio Carvalho's move to Brentford, Crystal Palace's Chadi Riad as a possible replacement for Marc Guehi, and more.

Savinho Primed to Shine for Man City

After the unfortunate injury to Oscar Bobb, who suffered a leg fracture, Manchester City is keen for new talent to step in, and Savinho may just be that player. Signed for £33.6 million from Girona, the Brazilian winger left his mark in the Community Shield, showcasing skills that have impressed manager Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola highlighted Savinho's old-fashioned wing play and his ability to attack defenders, saying, "With wingers, I always ask, if you have a good feeling, attack the opponent. You have to do it, it's your quality. He did that really well." Savinho's impressive stats from last season at Girona—9 goals and 10 assists in La Liga—further underscore his potential to support key players like Erling Haaland for the upcoming season.

Carvalho Set to Seize Chance at Brentford?

Fabio Carvalho's transfer to Brentford for £27 million symbolizes a fresh start after a frustrating time at Liverpool, where opportunities were limited. In his first interview since joining the Bees, he expressed the importance of feeling wanted and valued.

Recognized as a top-tier talent capable of unlocking defenses, Carvalho is eager to display his skills again. His successful spells at Fulham and Hull City prove he can flourish with adequate playing time. Brentford fans will eagerly anticipate the creativity and goal-scoring ability he brings to the squad.

Riad Eases Palace's Guehi Concern

As rumors swirl around Marc Guehi's potential departure, Crystal Palace fans can find comfort in new signing Chadi Riad. Acquired from Barcelona for £14 million, the 21-year-old center-back is already showing promise in pre-season.

Oscar Lopez, Riad's former coach, hailed his strong aerial game and speed. With a pass success rate of nearly 90% during his time at Real Betis, Riad's ability on the ball makes him a suitable prospect for Palace, even if it may take time for him to adjust to the Premier League.

Zinchenko's Future at Arsenal: Not Done Yet?

The arrival of defender Riccardo Calafiori has raised questions regarding Oleksandr Zinchenko's place in Arsenal's first team. However, Zinchenko’s performance in the final pre-season matches showcased his ability to influence games positively, thereby reaffirming his value to the team.

While competition is rife, Zinchenko’s experience and skill in ball distribution remain invaluable. Arsenal fans can expect to see him contribute significantly, even if he doesn’t start every match.

Player Radar: Keep an Eye on Dominic Solanke

With a hefty price tag, Dominic Solanke is under pressure to deliver, especially after a strong run at Bournemouth. The forward's dynamic play will be pivotal for Tottenham as they approach their debut match against newly-promoted Leicester.
