Zanos Savva impresses at Olympiakos following his return from Torino

21-year-old attacking midfielder Zanos Savva has emerged as a standout talent for Olympiakos, delivering a high-impact performance against Omonia. In his first start of the season, Savva scored a goal and provided an assist, further cementing his recent form which includes three goals in only 153 minutes of play. His recent contributions have drawn significant attention from major Cypriot clubs, marking a successful resurgence for the player.

Savva’s career trajectory includes a stint in Italy with Torino, where he joined the youth setup in 2022 and recorded 49 appearances, 10 goals, and 12 assists. However, his tenure in Italy was hampered by significant setbacks. His father, Olympiakos president Petros Savva, has publicly alleged that improper medical management and a failed surgical procedure during his time in Italy caused an 18-month injury recovery period rather than the expected four to five months. These complications led to his decision to return to Cyprus.

Following his strong form, observers and his father note that Savva is once again a subject of interest for major teams. While his current focus remains on his development at Olympiakos, his father has publicly challenged him to eventually seek another opportunity abroad, keeping the prospect of a future transfer open for the young talent.
